Well, I've spent the last couple hours educating myself on these machines. I think I've seen a couple around in Montana at ski resorts but never in southwest Alaska where I spent the bulk of my adult years. Not seeing them along Alaska's Bering Sea coast I'd suppose could be due to there size and weight not being suitable for hauling in small aircraft like a standard snowmobile. The bones of Alaskas history lay scattered across the tundra and even though I've not noticed one, I'm sure a few exist.
Just due to my lack of experience, I found this 11 year old video worthy of sharing.. Don't know what was going on in the video but there were plenty of these machines involved.
