Summer Grooming Continues into Winter with new Schulte Mower The cat crew at Silver Star Mountain Resort has taken a unique approach to summer trail maintenance. Rob Hopkinson, Silver Star's Vehicle Maintenance Supervisor, converted a Schulte mower (normally used in farming) to a hydrostatic drive system so that it can be used behind a Prinoth grooming machine. The difference in grooming time has been enormous – the new machine groomed Blast Off in only forty five minutes! The new mower is 15 feet wide (three 5-foot decks, and each side deck and be raised and still mow up to 90 degrees)! Silver Star's Operations Manager, Brad Baker says that this new mower will be able to whack alder stalks, even with snow on the ground!
Full speed ahead on the Silver Woods Lift!
Load testing and electric motor tests on the new Silver Woods high speed quad took place last week, and, as Operations Manager Brad Baker says, "it's a thing of beauty!" Individual chairs were loaded up with 170 lb boxes and 33 out of 66 chairs (half the chair line, the other half 'coming down' are empty) and the lift is stopped, started, and run at various speeds to simulate every conceivable situation it will experience once it's operational.

Wildcat- OPEN
We thought we would have 8+ trails for the weekend . . . well, it's going to be 24(+) now. Yes, that's half the mountain, basically! The snow is mid-winter, temps are not . . . really no wind expected. It's pretty special. . . but with all the unexpected open terrain, you'll know exactly why when you get out there!
