No more grooming for you.
That sucks.
How do you get it out of there, or do you fix on site?
Has to be fixed on site...Right now it is blocking the Divide road...not good!!!

How does that snow pusher work? Does it just push it up in a pile?
That machine is a groomer. Kind of like a grader blade. Makes skis slopes and snowmobile roads fun to use.
Notice the saw tooh edges on the bottom of the blade.
I've seen lots of flat tires, but I never seen anyone manage to flatten a track!
Call triple A roadside assistance. 😁
Hope they have Car Shield insurance on that. 😀
...if ya just would've taken the call about your extended warranty,,,,,
All joking aside, that looks like it'll be a sumbeach to fix in place. How deep is the snow and will you have to dig down to solid ground to get a jack under it?
Would yuo post up some pictures of the repair in progress? I'm curious how you'll go about it.
Will that side be hoisted up ? I would imagine it would take a crew to get that going?
Can you just dig out the snow from where you need to work on it.
Close... What you don't see is the "Groomer" on the back of machine...A round drum with steel spikes that is hydraulically driven...The club will most likely make the repairs or Pisten Bully mechanics...The driver and I are not club members and don't even own snowmobiles...

Jeez what a huge pita that is. I hope you can get it working again soon. I don't envy the task you have ahead of you.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Few timbers under the front blade it should lift enough to be blocked. Once you split the track. Nuts , bolts and parts.
One problem is the track links are on the bottom...The front blade and the groomer actually lift the unit quite well...I hope far enough... 🤞

Here's hopin' it stays nice and cold so you're not having to work in the mud!
good luck
put some heavy timbers under the blade before you try to lift the unit
I thought I had got into some fix it poop storms in my life but that makes any repair problem I ever had look like a walk in the park!! Good luck!!
