Snow Grooming

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Snow grooming is the process to manipulate snow for recreational uses, usually using a snow groomer vehicle. This can be a tractor, truck or snowcat towing specialized equipment to move and manipulate snow. The process is used to maintain ski hills and snowmobile trails by grooming (moving, flattening and compacting) the snow on them. Groomers built for ski slopes are often different from those used to groom snowmobile trails. Groomers like American based Tucker Sno-Cat and European based Pisten Bully build different types of Snowcats for different applications.
