Turoa ups groomer fleet
Turoa' s fleet of snow groomers increased by 150 per cent on Saturday when threePB270DS Kassbohrer Pisten Bullys were unloaded. The machines, worth $330,000 each new, are sec-ond-hand, having come from a skifield in Sweden where they clocked up an a.verage of 3500 hours. Mountain manager Grant McMaster said the deal will mean Turoa will be able to more consistently achieve a high quality of grooming. Until now the field's two 270s handled almost all the grooming with the smaller 170s helping with. some shaping and snow pushing. With five 270s Turoa will be able to have two or three grooming, two coping better with snow shaping and stockpiling and one on stand-by or being worked on by the maintenance crew. "It was a tall order for two machines to be asked to cope with the grooming before," said Mr McMaster. He said the work-load would now be spread across more machines and they would be able to carry out maintenance work in advance. Turn to Page 2
