The New Sno-Cat

Well you all have heard the rumors - yes we finally did it !! we now have added another vehicle to the Meany fleet, a Bombadier 302, which we have name "Moose", cause of the hugh rack it has. The pictures below will give you an idea as to what it looks like. It will be used to tow all skiers/snowboarders from Crystal Spring Sno-Park to the lodge, reducing the load on Tom Cat.
