A lot of snow has fallen during the night. This is where the snow groomer's role comes in, to prepare the slope for skiers. Before the first skiers can hit the slopes, the snow needs to be compacted. Calmly, the driver pushes the snow to the side with the snow groomer's shovel and flattens the ground with the roller. Just one more trip up and down, and then the slope will be ready. Winter sports enthusiasts can hardly wait to get started. Ready for action: The snow groomer is equipped with a crane arm and winch. In the storage compartment of the engine block, a chainsaw and other tools can be stored.
