Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. Final Friday, I took a journey in a Snow Cat (aka Grooming Machine) with Noah Corridor, and I noticed how our downhill trails are groomed. I’ll get again to that in a second. For at the moment, 33 trails have been groomed for a complete of 178 acres of freshly groomed terrain. We’ve top-to-bottom snowboarding and using on all 3 mountains, with 6 Lifts working, together with Madonna I, and 36 trails open with terrain for all skills.
Again to the Snow Cat cabin. Noah confirmed me how the Groomers get it achieved. It’s a complicated operation. There are 2 management knobs for steering and shifting backwards and forwards. 3 pleasure sticks management the blade in entrance (it seems to be like a plow) and the tiller & carpet within the again. The management screens may very well be beamed in from the Starship Enterprise or Millennium Falcon. The Grooming Crew additionally has to coordinate with one another on the slopes. It takes a excessive talent degree and a little bit of artistry to function these machines. Right here’s to Noah and the remainder of the Groomers!!!
