I've always wanted to drive one, not just to see what it's like, but to get as involved as I can in making our local trails enjoyable. I've been a member of our club for over 8 years and have been dropping hints about helping in the groomer for the past 2 or 3. Last weekend our main groomer driver said he'd pick me up in the groomer as he went by my house. We have a 1985 Tucker sno-cat that we've had since it was brand new. So I got to bed as early as I could and the call came in at 12:13am. Here we go. 5-7 mph. Rode shot gun for about 2 hours, then when we hit the section of trails that I install we switched seats. I drove for the next fours hours as my co-pilot worked the drag. The time went by a lot faster than I thought it would. He went by my house again at 6am and dropped me off. Keep in mind it took him two hours of grooming to get from the groomer barn to my house, so he had a lot longer night than me for sure. Got back up at 9am for a group ride on the trails. By that time the cold night had set up the ribbon almost rock hard. That day was truly my best on the trails. Both in the Tucker and on my sled. I can't wait for the opportunity to do it again.
