Extreme Ice Machines

Watch as the robust capabilities of a hardy all-terrain vehicle are put to the test, and check on a remote weather station in the Washington mountains. Then clear the busiest runway in Norway with a world-class snow blower.

Encounter the CH-47 Chinook, the chopper chosen by the U.S. Army to face the harshest conditions on the planet. Then tour the port of Alaska, where a trio of small but mighty tractor tugs braves ruthless waters to lead cargo vessels in from sea.

Get exclusive access to polar bears aboard a custom-made rover, and take to the sky to drop much-needed supplies to isolated Arctic villages. Then travel to Norway to see how a train-mounted snow blower keeps communities connected.

Float across icy waters with the Swedish Coast Guard’s hovercraft, see how a custom-made Yeti snow eater keeps an Alaskan airport open for business, and climb the death-defying runs of a world-class ski resort alongside a snow-grooming innovation.
