For those of you who haven’t bothered to look out the window in the past few months (ain’t the Internet grand?), it’s a Winter Wonderland out there for many of you folks. So much so, in fact, many people are left wondering when all this obnoxious winter white stuff will finally start to dissipate.
But not everyone thinks like that. As they say, when life hands you lemons, thrash them until they create a fine airborne mist of twinkling, granulated particles. At least, I think that’s what they say.
Of course, the “they” I reference is none other than America’s favorite rally good ‘ole boy and petrol-fueled entertainer, Ken Block. Kenny boy recently took a jaunt up to Baldface Lodge in Nelson, BC Canada, for a little R&R sliding around on his snowboard in the backcountry. But of course, such an expedition would need to be done with that characteristic Block style, no?
Enter the RaptorTRAX, quite possibly the most badass snowmobile you’ve ever laid eyes on. Based on the Ford F-150 Raptor, this one-of-a-kind mega-toy replaces the wheels at each corner with four Mattracks, offering outrageous grip on pretty much any surface planet Earth can muster (especially snow). Throw in a wealth of additional mods for trekking and general mountain party times, and you’re left wondering why this machine isn’t offered at your local Ford dealership right now.
Watch the video, then take a glance out the window. See that commuter you own? The one buried under several feet of frozen water? Now imagine it with tank treads…
