Pretty kick ass job opportunity. If I weren't married with a mortgage...Somebody get on this. Learning to be a snowcat mechanic is a great skill.

This would be a no-brainer jump for me - bump for the lucky one that finds it.

Only caveat is Buffalo Pass is not the steepest nor does it have much in the way of sustained vertical.

I would assume this has been filled by now.
