• We laughed so hard in the snowcat — the machine that grooms trails at ski resorts — that our stomachs hurt, and then charged hard through the untracked backcountry snow behind our guides.

• The Can-Am Defender, when equipped with Can-Am’s Apache Backcountry LT Track System, morphs into your own personal snowcat.
