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!
