The new groomer arrived yesterday. Ian is grooming this morning with the “old” groomers. The Polaris side by side/Ginzu set up is a year old and the snow machine is one month old.
This new groomer, a PistonBully 100, is the machine that eats hard snow and spits it out in perfect corduroy with tracks. But it is way!!! more complicated than our old PistonBully 70. The technology really changed in the last 30 years. Luckily, the snow conditions are such, that Ian can groom with what he knows, as he learns this new baby! He has turned into quite the groomer, one of the best around. I know he will do this machine proud.
