New groomer sweeps slopes
Skiers at Whakapapa are reaping the benefits of Ruapehu Alpine Lift's latest purchase- a brand new Kassbohrer Pisten
bully 200D snow groomer. The quarter million dollar piece of equipment is the best money can buy, according to RAL marketing
officer, Scott Lee. Mr Lee said this year RAL will be concentrating more on snow grooming for added customer satisfaction. The groomer is equipped with an 8-way blade which
enables groomer operators to position snow precisely where it is needed. It is also equipped with a rotary tiller for smashing ice, a snow comb and a compacter bar which can turn icy snow into groomed slopes in just one pass. The groomer's interior is also well equipped and is designed for maximum driver comfort. It is fitted with a good radio which helps night shift drivers stay awake for the full eight hours! The Kassbohrer, is the latest edition to RAL's flect of three groomers, which now means that snow grooming can take place virtually around the clock.
