Winch Cat facts:
The winch cat is used to groom Attitash’s
steeper trails.
The winch arm on the back of the grooming machine rotates 360
degrees and has a spool with
1000 meters of steel cable. The cable is
attached to a secured chain at the top
of a steep pitch. The winch cat can
then groom downhill without
sliding off or down the trail and then uses the
winch cable to haul itself back up the pitch
and return snow that is pushed
downhill from skiing back to the top.
It makes for perfectly groomed
steeps at Attitash!
