Ten minutes of my life I'll never get back but I enjoyed it. Keep your necktie out of that thing. If you're real short on time there's a significant modification at 7:12.

I thought twin screws were ships...
 
That's a sweet winter ride
 
Damn it. I want one!
 
Very cool. You definitely wouldn't want to fall off while moving. The 'wheels' on that thing remind me of a the innards of a hand-cranked meat grinder.

For folks who are all about riding on snow and love traveling in the snow . . . the Bombardier (Skidoo) Family has a great museum next to their factory in Quebec which shows a bunch of early "snowmobiles" from their company and other competitors (past and present).

Aside from being a death trap, that is the coolest thing I have seen on snow. I loved that video. Imagine almost a century ago that came up with that. Very awesome, thank you so much for posting.
 
Pointy wood splitter attachment for redwoods sold seperately

Put fenders on it and its safe as any other vehicle. Surprised they didn't at least sell to the military. Probably some short coming, fuel maybe?
 
I would love to see something like that come back. Impressive how it "floated" on the deep snow. I want one to pull an ice shanty!
 
I've seen a lot of different snow machines but never one like that
