Tucker Sno-Cat at Mount Hood Timberline Lodge, Oregon. Smith-Western Co. Postcard K-2313 (86121). No date (but before 1963).

            “Timberline Lodge’s Snow Cat taking skiers and visitors to the 10,000-foot level of Mt. Hood.”  Color by H. Peter Wingle.  [Text on the back]

(The absence of a Zip Code in the publisher’s address places the date of the postcard before 1963)

Four track Tucker Sno-Cats are considered to be the classic.  Early models all used a unique steel track that revolved around a steel pontoon.  The Sno-Cat at Timberline Lodge was a unique 20 passenger model 743 called “The Shoebox.”  The shoebox carried passengers up above the Lodge past the Silcox Hut to Triangle Moraine and the Palmer Snowfield for summer skiing – until the Palmer Ski Lift was built in 1978.
