Videos of grooming

[Sledderglen]

I know they are out there lets see yours.

 

[roadtech]

OK we are waiting to see your video's Glen !

 

[Sledderglen]

I haven`t made any yet. Have to figure out how to put them on here first. I have a pic of a new JD puller sled

 

[roadtech]

Well the figuring is not to bad, take the video put it in to Pictures on your computer, down load a video compresser off the internet for free and put it on your utube site. Easy right.
The ones I have done are poor quality, just used the home Sony, that's ok if there is little movement, but the grooming shots need a GO PRO or something simular, my camera is not fast enough for good a quality picture .
Next year, a Santa request.
Don
P.S Still no place to put a Heater on that Puller !!

OK Glen here's one I took today through the back window of the Rhino,

Good one Don. Were you just carrying snow or was there some cutting going on? You were just clicking right along. Do you have the drag set to cut much? Was it rough in front of you

 

[roadtech]

To day in this area I was cutting, but the snow pack is deep, that's why there was so much snow going into the collector. The main trail going south has some moguls, it needed a little TLC. I set the shoulder blades deeper than the center blades because I noticed the center of the trail was getting hollowed out and wanted to level the trail. The snow is carried from the shoulder cutters to the center of the groomer and the snow is dumped more toward the center of the trail leveling it out a bit. When I built the groomer I put two cutters on the right side and only one on the left side, so you get a better cut on the right side when adjusted to go deeper. Speed was 12 km/h

Ok no video yet but I have a pic. Don updated our Scandic to make it a bit more ridable when colder out. By now all of you should know that grooming works best when it is colder and the trail has time to set. This upgrade helps us groom when colder. I may not be real pretty but it works.

I have only groomed in Fernie this year and pretty much only once a week. A few more guys have stepped up (in Elkford and Fernie) and that is good as sometimes life gets in the way of late night grooming. So we are taking different shifts, etc.. In Fernie, we have had a string of mechanical issues and the SnowCat has been down quite a bit and my hours are down considerably. The electrical gremlins were/are the most troublesome and have haunted us for maybe 2 months. The parts from England came in yesterday so we should be up and running this week.

No video but they do work well as a skidder. Taken on the Golden Triangle up towards the Freeman River.

 

[roadtech]

This is a groom over, travelled up to the pipe line and was packing on the way back when I took this video
It's great to be in the bushes. The snow looks deep, and it is, walk off the groomed trail and it is over my knees. For Alberta that's pretty good.

Now that we have some snow let’s see you grooming videos
