So I am up working at Jiminy Peak, and after work was out watching one of the snowcats doing a bit of work in one of the base trails. One of the snow makers I know came driving up on his snowmobile and asked if I wanted to go for a ride in the cat. Of course I said yes and after a quick radio call the cat came and picked me up.

Got to ride around the mountain for about a hour and a half as the operator pushed piles around. It was a awesome ride and now I want to get a ride in the winch cat on the steeps in the future.

Here are a few pics i snapped with my phone.
