I would think a side by side ATV would be more practical... my guess is this is probably indeed a riding mower of some type.

I don't think so. He sported the beard since the early 60's at the very least. None of these people seem to be the main puppeteers. Frank Oz isn't there either. These seem to be mostly the background people, production staff, cafeteria workers and the like.

I can't find evidence this even aired, even in the UK where the show was a couple to a few minutes longer and featured one extra skit. I think it was just a production staff (mainly the ATV production staff from the sound of them) tribute to the puppeteers.

Is that young, beardless kid, Jim Henson?

Wow, what a tard. 50 below and he decides to ride his snow machine or atv.

wtf? empathy much?

No empathy here. As you can see by the condition of his finger tips, he was riding a snow machine or atv and froze his fingers where the knuckles faced the wind, leaving the finger tips less damaged. Like avalanche deaths from high marking or any other sort of motorized idiocy, this behavior is only worthy of scorn. If his children suffer because he cannot work, I will exhibit empathy and perhaps charity.

Here, have a picture of where Churchill Manitoba (where he's from) is located.
Now, you're American, so you most likely don't understand how Canadian population density works, but the farther north you get, the lower the populations.
And the lower the populations, the more likely it is that they don't have snow plows, and need to do things like use snowmobiles to get into town if they need supplies.
Until you have all the facts, how about not being an ass and giving the benefit of the doubt? Because most likely, he only rode because he had to.

Wow, Lotta hate going on. Anyone who fucking lives and works outside where it goes to 50 below should know that sitting on your ass creating your own windchill will give you frostbite. Plowing does not occur 40 to 60 miles an hour. At 50 below and high rates of speed heated grips don't work to keep ALL of ones hand warm . All of you fucking desk monkeys know jack shit! This type of frostbite happens to people involved in "Recreational Activities" now be good little nerds and fuck off.


How bout you read my post again carefully?

I never said HE was the one plowing, and if I did, why the fuck would he be doing it on something with an open cab.

Exactly what I said was: "IN THE NORTH, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE PLOWS, AND HE POTENTIALLY HAD TO USE A SNOWMOBILE TO GET INTO TOWN"

Nowhere is there ANY information as to why he was riding a snowmobile, but if it's 50 below, there's a pretty good fucking chance that he wasn't doing it recreationally, and until stated otherwise, once again, how about we stop assuming and have a little bit of sympathy?

You seem to have a pretty good grasp on the situation, where do you take your information from?
For instance, why was he out there? Did he know about the circumstances? Does maybe his job include putting himself to this risk?

In other words: why are you jumping to exactly that conclusion? Did something similar happen to you once?

The video is taken from the Husky Homestead near Denali National Park in Alaska.


The Husky Homestead is run by Jeff King who has won the Iditarod four times. The presenters are usually his daughters - they come home from college for the summer and work with the dogs.

In addition to the giant wheel shown in the video they also have the dogs pull ATVs and in the summer pull paddle boats (the dogs are harnessed and swim). The benefit to swimming is they don't overheat.

These dogs LOVE to run and Jeff and his family know how to take care of these dogs. The dogs' safety is a priority and they know what they are doing.

If you have a chance to visit Denali I would highly endorse visiting Husky Homestead. You get to hold a pup when you get there - which is all part of getting the dogs to trust people.

Below is me at Husky Homestead in 2009:
