that produces 406 hp and 1,726 Nm of torque.
“It’s unique because it’s essentially a snow park version
of the BISON standard winch,” Piekarz said, adding that
a winch comes standard on the BISON X model; a unique
feature. “It’s actually the only park winch in production. It’s
exclusive to PRINOTH and very, very versatile.”
The HUSKY X is proof that big things come in small packag-es.
Its compact design (201 inches by 96 inches by 105 inches)
provides extreme manoeuvrability that makes it ideal for use
at smaller ski resorts and parks. It’s also the first machine of
its size to feature a flex tiller rather than a traditional straight
bar tiller to grind snow and move it out.
“The flex tiller is two cutter bars that flex and conform to
the snow better and leave a better surface,” Piekarz said.
This HUSKY X is also unique in that it features a
well-appointed passenger cabin with climate control and
leather seats that can comfortably seat up to nine passen-gers
and offers a panoramic mountain view. At the Killington
World Cup, during the bib ceremony, athletes were comfort-ably
sitting in the passenger cabin waiting for their names to
be called out.
Piekarz acknowledges that being involved in an event that
is viewed by tens of thousands of ski enthusiasts from around
the world is great exposure for his company and its products.
“It’s quite the event. It’s a pretty awesome scene to be
standing at the finish line area and watching the skiers as
they come down,” he said.
“Obviously the exposure we get is great. But our main con-cern
is always to take care of our customers and Killington is
a great customer. We value that relationship and we want to
be there to help them. Having the machines onsite and the
exposure that comes along with that is pretty much the icing
on the cake.”
