  Have you noticed the earlier sunsets in the past few weeks? I have, and a couple of nights this week the nighttime air blowing in the bedroom window actually felt a little bit cold.             Oh sure, the forecast for the Minneapolis area is calling for highs to return to close to 90 degrees starting [...]

There are some sleds that just make you feel good when you look at them. In fact, we figure the 2011 Arctic Cat Sno Pro 500 should be equipped with one of those "smiley" face decals on its hood. I...

Am I An Expert Or Idiot? Both!

Posted by John Prusak on August 20, 2010 under From the Editors | Comments are off for this article

 Everybody is an expert at something, yet no matter how big of an expert they are, there is always somebody else who can make them look like a relative novice.             I was reminded of that fact this past weekend, when my family went on our annual long-weekend vacation with another family in our neighborhood.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1999 Tucker Terra

Posted by Daniel Strohl on August 14, 2010 under Hemmings Find of the Day, Tucker, snowmobiles, tucker Sno-Cat | Comments are off for this article

Inspired by yesterday’s Six Degrees of Automotive Separation Challenge, I went looking through the Hemmings.com classifieds to see if we had any Tuckers for sale. We did indeed have a listing for the 48 that RM’s auctioning off in Monterey this weekend, but we also showed a listing for this 1999 Tucker Terra Medicat, the evolution of the Sno-Cat. While I’m not one to get too excited over equipment, a Tucker is kind of like a Unimog in that it transcends pure functionality to attain coolness. From the seller’s description:

1999 Tucker Terra 1600 Medicat Sno-Ambulance. 1999. Hardly used, excellent condition, Allison transmission, air suspension, hydraulic outlets front and rear, air-locking differentials, Cummins BTA diesel, Full Medicat ambulance body easily detaches, < 3500 miles and < 700 hrs. Ideal snow emergency vehicle or convert to flatbed snocat. Emergency lights and sirens, back-up monitor, summer track-covers. Located in Ridgway, CO.

Once a month, longtime contributor David Wells tries to kill me.             Not on purpose (I don’t think?!). Wells is a very nice, well-intentioned guy who would never intentionally cause me bodily hard (probably).             The problem? Wells writes our Timeline articles for each issue of Snow Goer, and does a hell of a job [...]
