We are also pretty excited about the upcomi9ng snow season. We are getting units prepped and ready to ship out to Colorado, Michigan, Wisconsin and maybe even Quebec, eh? We also are working on product development and hope to have exciting news to share regarding some new products that we are testing. Below is a pic of some of our R&D team hard at work.

It's officially the first day of winter! The TTT team has been busy building groomers and getting them shipped out the door to new friends in Rush City, MN and Yukon, Canada! ![]() Tim does all of our quality control and double checks parts and materials to make sure everything is ready when you receive your SnoDozer. Then onto a pallet, into a truck and off it goes. ![]() We are looking forward to hearing about trail conditions in all the snowy areas, and finding out how they improve as the SnoDozers hit the trails. Be sure to let us know how yours is working out! We love to hear from our customers! Of course, nothing leaves the shop with out the Dozer and Roxy bark of approval!
With Christmas just around the corner, and holiday excitement reaching its peak, the TTT team is excited about our appearance at the Arrowhead Ice Fishing, Snowmobile and Winter Show at the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center this weekend. The last few years Tim and I have attended this show and wandered the aisles making plans for our winter adventures. With vendors from various resorts, the snowmobile manufacturers and many different ice fishing and winter activities, it offers a great opportunity to find some pretty special Christmas gifts for the winter sports enthusiast on your list. ![]() Come visit us at Booth 168 and 169 for a look at our SnoDozer 400, the personal trail groomer. This is a new product category at this show and we are excited to show people our unique technology. LET IT SNOW!!!!
Every year our family looks forward to Thanksgiving weekend. Not only do we get to spend quality time with family and friends and enjoy a fantastic meal together, it also marks the unofficial start of snowmobile season for us for both racing and trail riding. Unfortunately, the event got fogged out for Sunday, but we had a lot of fun while it lasted! This year was extra special as we got just a little bit of snow last week, so we were able to break out the SnoDozer 600 and run it around our property. The snow was heavy and wet as it often is in the early part of the season, and the SnoDozer performed PERFECTLY! A few pics below, or you can stop by our facebook page to check out some video of it in action! We can't wait for more snow so that we can have perfectly groomed trails on our property! Congratulations! You made it! It is November 8, 2016 and one way or another history will be made today. This is not a political post, though. Just a friendly reminder that as Americans we have a civic duty to pay attention to the process and on election day, go to the polls and vote your convictions. We did!
![]() Some of our best memories are from trail riding. Tim grew up riding with his parents and brothers and sister and their friends and family all over the Midwest, and I rode mostly on property owned by friends in Northern Minnesota. This was during the late 60s and early 70s when clubs were just starting to form. Without the formation of those clubs to start grooming trails and developing trail systems, this activity we love so much might have just died off, but because of a few dedicated individuals, trails are abundant, and the sport lives on. All of the trails in the US are maintained by local clubs. There is no US Department of Snowmobile Trails, or State funded Snowmobile Trail Agency. It is dedicated local volunteers out there grooming the trails so that we can enjoy riding on smooth trails and in good conditions. We recently joined MNUSA as a business member, and we would encourage you to find your local club and join. The average snowmobiler spends about $4000 per year on snowmobile related recereational expenses (http://www.snowmobile.org/snowmobiling-statistics-and-facts.html) . Most clubs charge a small(under $100) fee to be a member each year. Those dollars go right back into your local area to pay for expenses related to grooming and maintaining those trails. It is a small price to pay to be able to enjoy the outdoors all winter long. Consider joining... consider volunteering. Our sport depends on it! Please also see the following blog post from a MaxSled.com contributor encouraging local club membership: http://maxsled.com/belonging-to-your-local-club-tantamount-to-growing-our-sport/ Living in Northern Minnesota, we are used to long, cold winters. In fact, our family looks forward to them, Winter brings snowmobile ice racing for the kids, and trail riding for the adults. According to forecasters(, this winter is shaping up to be one of the best in recent memory. A cold December means the ground should firm up nicely so that as soon as the snow hits, we can get out there and start grooming. In fact, we are forecast to get our first glimpse of the white stuff this weekend!
The above pic is from a trip Tim and I recently took to Lake of the Clouds in Michigan. We were able to ride on some pretty fantastic trails, but we did notice that some of the trails could have benefited from a SnoDozer groomer! This year, I think the anticipation for snow has hit our house early. Our boys are anxious to get back to racing, and Tim and I are ready to hit the road to demo the SnoDozer! We have inventory ready for immediate delivery, so if your club is getting excited about the early season, and wants to be ready when the first flakes hit, give us a call. Also, if you are interested in a demo, give me a call or send me an email to be included on the invite list for demos in your area. Tundra Trail Technologies is headed to Vintage Fest this weekend. What is Vintage FEst, you ask? According to their website:
The 2016 Twin Ports Vintage Fest will be held Friday & Saturday, September 23rd & 24th, 2016, at Dusty Flat Speedway, just North of Duluth, MN. What started out more than 12 years ago with a few "Sled-Holics" has turned into one of the largest snowmobile events in Northern Minnesota. We feature one of the area's best compilations of vintage snowmobiles and parts, with lots of exciting racing on our grass track. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? Last year we attended and organized an exhibition only grass oval race for the kids with great success. This year, our focus is on getting the word out about the SnoDozer Series trail groomers. You can check out the event website at: http://www.twinportsvintagefest.com/ With the passing of the first day of school, and Hay Days now behind us, we can start looking ahead to the upcoming SNOW season. So far, the outlook is fantastic for the upcoming season, at least according to the NOAA predictions. The below forecast maps indicate colder than normal temps for the upper Midwest for December-February, and above average precipitation for much of the northern US. This is looking like GREAT GROOMING WEATHER! So call us soon to reserve your SnoDozer for this season. You don’t want to be caught without a trail groomer to allow you to really enjoy smooth groomed trails! FYI- the above picture was taken last year at a KCPRO East race on PIke Lake just outside of Duluth, MN. What a great way to spend time with family and friends and teach kids about the fun of snowmobiling! Precipitation Outlook Temperature Outlook
It was a perfect weekend in North Branch, MN as the Sno Barons hosted their 50th Anniversary Hay Days. It was also the perfect opportunity for the Tundra Trail Technologies team to unveil the SnoDozer Series groomer. Lots of buzz about our handy product was created, and we are looking forward to reconnecting with the folks we talked to this weekend. If you weren't able to connect with us at our booth, please give us a call or drop us a line. We'd love to hear from you!
