Скачать или смотреть Ski Slope Preparation: How a Winch Snow Groomer Works on an Extremely Steep Slope

In this video, you will get a close-up look at how a winch snow groomer performs demanding work on a very steep mountain slope, where conventional machinery would be ineffective and unsafe. This technology is widely used in ski resorts to ensure the highest slope quality and maximum safety. The groomer is secured with a strong steel cable to a special anchor located at the top of the slope, which may be installed in rock, deep snow, or another reliable structure capable of withstanding heavy loads. The winch system continuously maintains optimal cable tension, allowing the machine to move steadily up and down the slope while preventing slipping, sudden movements, or uncontrolled sliding downhill. Using the rear blade and tiller, the snow is leveled, shaped, and compacted, creating a smooth, solid, and safe base for the ski slope. The work is carried out at night, when there are no skiers on the slopes and lower temperatures allow the snow to be processed more effectively, ensuring the slope is perfectly prepared for visitors in the morning. The winch system makes it possible to work on extremely steep slopes that would otherwise be inaccessible, where the key factors are precise control, technical expertise, and the highest safety standards.
