🌿 Shrub mulching is much more than landscape maintenance.

Shrubs and woody vegetation can quickly spread across ski slopes during the summer months. If they are not removed regularly, they increase snow requirements and make slope preparation more difficult once winter begins.

Professional mulching keeps the slopes clear, promotes the development of a dense grass cover, and creates ideal conditions for a stable snow base.

All maintenance work should, of course, be carried out in accordance with local landscape and environmental protection regulations.

Perfect ski slopes don't start with the first snowfall—they start in summer.

Well-maintained slopes require less snow, improve snow stability, reduce water and energy consumption for snowmaking, and help create safer skiing conditions throughout the winter season.

From maintaining a dense grass cover and clearing drainage channels to removing loose rocks, every step taken during the summer contributes to more efficient and sustainable slope management.

Discover why summer slope maintenance is one of the smartest investments ski resorts can make.

Proper maintenance and regular cleaning are essential for safe, efficient, and reliable operation on the slopes. Ready for the next training day in Lenzerheide!

🚜 3 Reasons Why a Summer Overhaul of Snow Groomers Pays Off

Many ski resorts postpone maintenance work until autumn. However, planning an overhaul during spring or summer offers significant advantages.

1️⃣ Greater Planning Certainty
Potential issues can be identified and resolved well before the start of the season.

2️⃣ Better Workshop Availability
Manufacturers and service partners often have more capacity available during the off-season.

3️⃣ Attractive Service and Spare Parts Promotions
Spring and summer are often the best time to benefit from special offers on maintenance services and genuine spare parts.

A well-planned summer overhaul not only reduces the risk of downtime but also helps ensure a smooth and successful start to the next winter season.

🚜 Summer Overhaul Instead of Autumn Stress

The winter season may be over, but now is the ideal time to prepare snow grooming machines for the next one.

Many manufacturers and service partners offer attractive service and spare parts promotions during spring and summer. At the same time, workshops generally have greater availability than they do shortly before the start of the winter season.

Planning maintenance work early offers several advantages:

✔ Reduced risk of unexpected breakdowns
✔ Better planning and scheduling
✔ Extended vehicle service life
✔ Attractive cost-saving opportunities

A professional summer overhaul helps ensure that snow groomers are fully operational when the next season begins.

In our latest blog article, we explain the benefits of early maintenance, why genuine spare parts matter, and how ski resorts can take advantage of summer service opportunities.
