Abstract: A snow track maintenance system is described herein including a frame extending along an axis which is oriented along a direction of displacement, a mounting assembly secured to the frame for mounting the frame to a motorized vehicle so as to be trailed therefrom along the direction of displacement, and a leveler mounted to the frame so as to be pivotable relatively to the direction of displacement. Other equipments may further be provided to the maintenance system, including a snow regenerator mounted to the frame along a first longitudinal axis generally perpendicular to the direction of displacement, and a snow compactor mounted to the frame upstream from the snow regenerator. The system can be used for the maintenance of alpine ski tracks and cross-country ski tracks, even in an underbrush trail, and allows setting a track on any type of snow.

Abstract: Embodiments of an all-terrain vehicle for ski track setting, military applications, gardening, etc are described herein which include a rear section having a power train and a first set of drive wheels coupled to the power train so as to be driven thereby, a front section having a drive train and a second set of wheels coupled to the drive train so as to be driven thereby; and a universal coupler that attaches the front and rear sections together and that allows free controlled movement therebetween. The drive train of the front section is coupled to the power train so as to be driven thereby. The front section includes a passenger compartment having user controls therein. Tracks are mounted on both set of wheels.
