FEATURE STORY
“All of them are super powerhouse machines that can push
a ton of snow as effectively and efficiently as possible.”
Castaneda says SPT snowcat operators enjoy PistenBully
cats for their smooth ride and ergonomic design.
“You’re in those cats for hours each day. You want to be as
comfortable as possible with every aspect of the cat to get
you through the shift, and it doesn’t hurt that you’ve got that
premium sound system to keep you stoked and keep the
building going. Everything about the machine is just very
well suited for projects that we build and the world we live
in,” he said.
“Another great thing about our partnership with Pisten-
Bully is that they’re out there in the field with us during these
large-scale events. And if they are not physically on-site, at a
moment’s notice, anywhere in the country or the world for
that matter, they are always a phone call away to support us,”
Castaneda said.
“During the build process and event, they are supporting
us with the general upkeep of these machines because we’re
running these cats 24 hours a day. If we have any issues,
they’re taking care of us.”
According to Castaneda, SPT’s snow course builders are
also able to provide feedback to help PistenBully build even
better machines for the future generations of park builders.
“It’s a pretty cool relationship that we have with them,”
Castaneda said. “We are honored to fly the PB flag on every
project we are involved with.”
“One of the main challenges we
typically face with any event is
the weather. It’s funny, but the
last thing you want is snow once
the build is done, when you’re
TV ready.”
