Sno-Coach Tours and Icefield Explorers
on the Athabasca Glacier
on the Athabasca Glacier
Looking like a Volkswagen on a bulldozer track, this is one of the original Bombardier snowmobiles used for tours of the Athabasca Glacier (Columbia Icefield) in the 1960s and 1970s.Note that the front skis have been replaced by two wheels, since the Bombardier is no longer used for touring the glacier - only for display.
These vintage "lunar rovers" have been replaced by modern "Icefield Explorers" or "Sno-Coaches" that let you visit the glacier in comfort.
