Two "Sno Cat"s at Butler Pass MT. These machines, designed and built I Sweden, are "Workhorse of the High Snow Country". They are used for winter ski trips, search & rescue, and other tasks that can’t wait for spring. While investigating a potential ZMM restaurant, I discovered this high quality Swedish built machine. I spent some time studying how engineers had designed "this very real machine" to deal with the combined challenges of mountain slopes, extreme cold, and VERY DEEP snow. The restaurant and Sno Cat were after Beartooth Pass and located by the highway on the way down to Cook City and the N.E. Gate of Yellowstone N.P.
