The Slope Maintenance team was hard at it last night. On a random Wednesday night, the team was able to groom thirty-five trails! This included five advanced trails on the list which was a boon to those that can love to rip those steeper trails. The updated cat fleet played a role in this effort but it was really the…
Each season, we work with our industry partners to set up a demo of new snowcat models here at Monarch. Recently, our team of operators have been trying out the Leitwolf snowcat from Prinoth. This snowcat has a larger footprint and tiller than the rest of our Bison fleet. So, each pass on the slopes covers just a bit more…
