People always compare it to on the lawn just because it's like you're out there making stripes and just cutting out corduroy and stuff, that there's so much more to it.

Corduroy is like a quarter of what you're actually trying to achieve out there.

I remember skiing Winter park with my mom, and we were waiting in line.

and there was a snow cap parked right next to the left.

Me.

the lift line was super long.

And I remember sitting there staring at it.

I love trucks, all types of stuff, and staring at it just like this is the coolest thing on the planet.

it became a bit of an obsession.

with the giving conditions kind of.

The goal is basically just to groom all the guaranteed drills.

So everything that's green and blue.

All the training parks are getting groomed.

Just because they get so busy in these spring conditions.

guaranteed.

This is the goal.

We got some.

We got some pirates.

We're going to get my car right in.

this is the blade on the snow cap, which we use for making things flat, shaping all the runs, getting rid of moguls, you name it.

part of your process is the snow traveling underneath the tracks.

And the tracks work to break that snow up.

Because if we never break snow up the surface again and continue to get firmer and firmer and firmer.

So if we can process that snow and then send it through the tiller in the back, that can create that really, really nice corduroy.

that's a big part of what we do is, is taking snow from one place and throughout the season will store snow in different locations.

come springtime we know we have that.

We can cover up some of those thinner spots climate change, global warming, whatever you want to call it, we're not exactly sure what's going to happen.

I can say that we've expanded our snowmaking system, kind of being ready for that to areas that 15 to 20 years ago, you'd never think about putting snowmaking over there.

And We're alpine glowing right now.

Dude.

in high school, I had this whole plan.

I was like, I'm gonna work trademark hand crew.

I'm gonna work myself up into a snow cat.

I kind of went for it and it worked out.

I think I'm super lucky that it worked out, but it took a lot of work.

The cost of living is pretty outrageous.

people, they've been working here 20 years or so.

Right?

Rent and apartments with roommates, so on and so forth.

getting paid what we do and then somewhere else, like, we totally manage to be able to make ends meet, but pretty much everyone lives paycheck to paycheck and say.

10 p.m. clock and, 8 a.m. clock out.

Social life is definitely, really, really complicated.

Swing shift isn't as bad, you know, you work until 2 a.m., sleep in till noon, and then go out and ski in the afternoon with all your buddies.

there's something so addictive and so beautiful about this lifestyle during the day, I get to do what I love.

And at night, I get to give people a product to share what I love with everybody.
