>> One advantage of working on the northern border with a snowmobile
is to be able to cover a large area quickly
and be able to traverse it without having to be on foot.
This particular snowmobile is capable of going through deep snow.
It's narrow, good in the woods.
And that's the type of training we have here.
It's not a trail system.
It's deep snow, logs, narrow, trails where you ride a snowmobile.
If you're on foot you can cover a lot of area on a road
with snowshoes or walking if it's plowed.
But if you see something, by the time you follow it out it could be gone.
With a snowmobile you can push that sign
and maybe catch up to it before it hits the road and it's gone.
