A total of 17 Scout Vehicles, either 118-inch wb. Traveler station wagons or 100-inch wb. Scout II sport compacts will provide the team with its ground transportation. Featuring a distinctive red, white and blue design, the Ski Team Scouts are equipped with automatic transmission, V8 engines, bucket seats, first-aid kits, ski racks and two-speed transfer cases.
