Do you need a license to drive a Snowcat?

After the sheriff’s press conference, a reporter asked if anyone could drive a Snowcat or if you needed a license to drive one.

“It was on a private road, so he can drive that Snowcat. In that case, like Mr. Renner always does, those private roads. He was a good neighbor and he was plowing those roads for his neighbors up there. Again once they had three feet,” replied Sheriff Balaam.

Now, while the Marvel actor was on private roads, many companies require professional Snowcat operators/drivers to have at least a driver’s license. Some even require their drivers to undergo training and certification before operating the Snowcat.

Snowcat machines are often used to clear tons of snow to prepare the slopes for skiers
