MTN Snow Equipment Inc. continues to
expand to meet customers’ needs
Submitted by MTN Snow Equipment Inc.
MTN Snow Equipment Inc., is a family-owned
mid-size company that manufactures track
parts for on-snow and off-road vehicles. The
company started off in 1982 as Beartrac LMC
Canada Inc., which was the Canadian version of Logan
Manufacture Company from Logan, Utah (LMC USA).
During that time, over 3,000 snow groomers were sold in
Canada to ski hills, the snowmobile industry and the North
American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) – the
company’s biggest client at the time. In one year, Beartrac
LMC Canada sold 30 to 40 machines to NORAD.
In 1998, LMC USA decided to close its doors. Obviously
customers needed parts for their machines and were
worried, so it was decided to change the company name to
MTN Snow Equipment Inc., and continue to sell parts for the
LMC groomers. MTN Snow Equipment was making parts for
only LMC machines and saw that their parts were as good,
if not better, that their competitors. MTN Snow Equipment
decided to begin manufacturing all other on-snow groomer
vehicle tracks and special tracks for the oil industry. MTN
Snow Equipment also buys and sells used snow cats for
snowmobile customers, and fishing and
hunting outfitters.
Now, MTN Snow Equipment is one
of the largest aftermarket track parts
manufacturers in North America
for any on-snow equipment or
groomer. They produce 90 percent
of their parts in-house, which include
sprockets, wheels, cleats and tire guides
to complete tracks. All track parts are
powder coat painted and the belting is from
Germany; it has double the tensile strength
of other track belts. MTN Snow Equipment
carefully drills each belt to custom specifications.
