Pretty cool but their claim to be the first ever wheel driven track system is a bit suspect...

It's an interesting setup and may be ideal for the plains states police agencies for blizzards (as shown in one of the videos on their site.) I use a Tucker Snocat to get into my mountaintop sites for winter outages. This setup would work for me part of the time, but I'd have to come up with a method of transporting them that didn't take bed space. I could probably use a small trailer - after all, the Snocat takes a large trailer. :-)
Just a set of rubber tracks for the Tucker is $20,000, so, while $25,000 is a lot of money, it's probably not unreasonable. The fact that their universal helps, too. I may have to show this to my supervisor...

True, nor will the casual user own a Snocat. Snowmobiles have more fun-factor, anyway - Snocats are built for comfort, not speed. :-)
