Various videos from my work running equipment in the construction industry, and also running snowcats in the ski industry. I am open to suggestions and requests for anything you may want to see, or learn, from the work I do.
Windrows For Snows
Pre-season building has had a slow start but now the whales are getting bigger and we need to build windrows to catch the snow during the windy days and nights. In this video I take a Bison X up the slope to build some windrows and catch some snow...

The Northern Hemisphere winter has arrived. New Ski resort, new crew, new slopes to build and learn... here we go again! Starting with some whale hunting to get our base down, I have dabbled in some snowmaking to get something to push and today is the first day in a snowcat for the 2024-2025 ski season in Norefjell, Norway.

Pushing Some Life Into The Last Slopes
มุมมอง 425วันที่ผ่านมา
It looks like the bad weather is going to beat us. Rain and warm wind has decimated our snowpack, so we are down to the last few slopes. some patch work with the bin cat has been needed and now the Pistenbully 400 Park will be used to scavenge whats left to keep the slopes alive.

A week of warm weather, rain, and wind has decimated the snow base, so we are desperately trying to keep open what we can... which means it is time to fire up the Pistenbully 200 Bin Cat. Mt Buller, Australia August 2024
A Wander Down Wombat

The end of the season feels closer each day thanks to warm weather and no sign of snowfall. Not the perfect time to learn a new slope, but here we go anyway... down to Wombat in the Pistenbully 400W to patch whats left of the road and see if we can save the slope... Mt Buller, Australia August 2024

Things are warming up already and we have barely had a decent snowfall, but the show must go on and we must still present a decent product for our guests to ride! Pistenbully 400 winch and some 6 degree weather... Mt Buller, Australia

Things are warming up already and the slopes are feeling the pinch. Tonight is a little foray down Howqua in the Pistenbully 400 Winch to try and knock the moguls into the dirt patches to keep the slope alive... Mt Buller, Australia August 2024
Standard Mogul Madness
มุมมอง 889หลายเดือนก่อน
Heavy skiing has left the top of Standard mogulled to heck (which is quite normal). So today is a little push job with the Pistenbully 400W to get the snow back onto the heavily used entrance to Standard. Mt Buller, Victoria August 2024
Winching Howqua With 100mm Of Snow To Play With

With just enough snow to open the whole slope we are grooming Howqua as wide as we can with snow ranging from 50mm-200mm. its not pretty, but it's better than nothing... Skimming the surface with the Pistenbully 400w Mt Buller, Australia August 2024
My First Fumble Down Howqua
มุมมอง 391หลายเดือนก่อน
With the new snow we are doing out best to open new slopes. I have not had a crack at Howqua yet so tonight its time to have a poke around and see what this slope is all about with the Pistenbully 400w. Mt Buller, Australia August 2024
As Far As Runs Go This One Is Pretty Standard

Hooking up the winch and dropping in to Standard for the first time winching this slope. fairly good temps and a reasonable layer of snow to work with in the Pistenbully 400W. It's a long one as I managed to keep the camera going until the end for a change, lets see who makes it through the whole thing...' Mt Buller, Australia August 2024
A New Slope To Explore!

Heading down to a slope called "Standard" for the first time, so with the help of instructions from the boss and some guidance from SnowSat me and the Pistenbully 400w No.6 are heading into new (for me) territory to find the summer road and the load area of Standard.

Back in the Pistenbully 400w to winch the chute after the snow-storm. the snow has not frozen, it is wet and sticky and takes a bit of effort to spread nicely. Mt Buller, July 2024

Love the intro, looking forward to the season.
Looks like so much fun could you or someone please explain how all the snow making works over a video
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowmaking
Some friendly advice. I watch a lot of large tractor snow plowing videos of the Swiss Alps and Austria. They all mount the camera high in the center windshield so you can see the plow and the road in front. Nothing else. Watching you bubble around in the cab is distracting
cool, so cool
LOVE VIDS LIKE THIS
Allways great fun when u spin up some nice piles behind the tracks and back over them a little too fast.. Figured that out when I was new. Allso we run x-tracks on our 600. (Cross country skiing) So spinning the tracks is a pretty common occurance :p
These day time videos are nice, actually see what your up to , cheers
This is what I was up to last night. Riding shotgun in a 600 polar moving around polecat's and digging out Borax sleds. It so much fun!
Man made snow can be the worst stuff to push out. But nothing beats being in a cat!! I miss those days thanks for bringing back the memories.
Nice to see you back in some snow!!
Welcome back to the North! Nice intro scene. Does Prinoth use the same SnowSat as PB? Shame the screen is so small, you can't make out much of it in the video.
No it’s a Leica GPS system in the machines here, the same as what I used in Sweden. It does the job, similar but different.
Nice to see you come to my home country to do some winter work. The company i work for has delivered 12-15 cabins up to Norefjell in the last year or so.
Hell yes!!!
So glad I just came came across your channel again! Even though I was subscribed the algorithm didn't show me you had posted. Greetings from Michigan, we are in mad push to get all of our runs open for Christmas break.
sad :( Maybe it will snow soon? Let's just hope
this was a few months ago in Oz. This was an attempt by the operators to keep the mountain open to extract the last drop of blood (money) from the skiers. We had a crap year for snow this year, near the end nights got warm, spring came mega early.
You are back! Just came across your channel again.
Head mounted camera is making me dizzy, please try a different mount so I can watch this cool machine at work.
Cool video! End of the Season?
Pretty much. It ended about a month early unfortunately
@@pushnpow :(
You have plans for returning to the States in the next year or so.
I haven’t been to the states for about 10 years. Nearly went to Sun Valley but they just stopped communicating so I ended up in Norway instead.
its like a handicap watching you run a wheel cat. You are so fast and precise on a stick machine lol. Wheel cat looks mega screwy haha!
I actually don’t mind the yoke-cat for certain grooming but doing precise work is definitely better with the sticks. And funnily enough the yoke is actually easier on the hands, it can get pretty uncomfortable after 10-15 hours holding the sticks!
@@pushnpow I have only ever run a stick cat. Maybe moved a wheel cat lol. Cool to see the difference tho with your operating.
I just finished my snowcat course and drove for the first time today, you are doing exactly the way our instructor told us, I’m mad impressed by your way of operating
That’s interesting! I was just taught by a couple of old hands and the rest came from seat time really. Probably helps spending time in the earthmoving industry and also just being a skier/snowboarder. Understanding what makes a corral/load area of a lift easy for skiers and boarders, same thing for T-lines and button lifts, and understanding how the slope is used helps you understand where snow accumulates and where you need to cut it from and push it to.
Varför snackar du inte svenska för? De finns inte många alls som pratar svenska som plogar
Can you talk a little about the mysterious heated windshield wipers in a video? I see two tubes going to and from each wiper.
They’re coolant hoses, connected to the engine coolant system, so hot water is circulated through the wiper arms to keep them de-iced. The windshield itself is heated with wire as well, they’re not cheap to replace!
Love this, dropped just when I was missing the old videos from Sweden a couple years back!
where will be your next job when the season is over? Love the vid's of the ski hills
Started in Norway a week ago, hopefully we have a good season up here!
@@pushnpow where in norwary?! I'll have to come say hi this winter.
❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Thank you for great insight! I love this machine since I was little skier :D
what are your plans for operating snowcats, will you go back to where you live and do some more cat work?
I am flying to Norway next week for their winter so hopefully be back in a cat in the next couple of weeks (depending on snowfall and temps)
@@pushnpow awesome!!
Love that!
Low the videos keep pushing 💪
You're a good operator! Also like the head cam, good video!
So cool! I love your videos!
Can you make a video with the Pistenbully 600 Level Red again? Great Video btw.!
Not really, it’s in a completely different hemisphere! I don’t work for that ski resort anymore, had problems with visas.
@@pushnpow okay but really cool video!
I never used one, or even seen one first hand. But they look an absolutely brilliant machine.
The new mic is great! Keep up the good work!
dont know how youtube found this video for me but im happy it did 😂
Sameee broo
The algorithm works in mysterious ways 👀
This will be my first season as a groomer, just waiting on the snow to come through here in CO!
Great video again!
You were in Melbourne and didn’t catch up with me bro? Haha where are you at now with ya Volvo?
I actually never went to Melbourne other than the airport, it’s a big city… I’m scared of by cities 😆. I thought you’d come up for a slide!
Sound great. Are you still usng your gopro 7? Looks good aswell.
Nah went away from GoPro, using DJI cameras now, they seem to be more reliable and functional.
Nice improvement with the new mic, also the video exposure looks better.
That's a funny color snow. 😂
So excited to get back in these machines this winter! Excellent video!
nice video!
A portfolio of pictures of the areas taken in summer would be handy to refer to :)
Unfortunately I don’t stay there during summer so that would be a bit of a challenge.
@@pushnpow it was more a comment that they should or could provide to the new guys :)
Been meaning to ask, do you even ski?
Snowboard. I stopped skiing when I was 12
thanks for posting! its like a ride along
A lav mic should me a nice improvement. Do these cats have worse lights than the ones you had in Sweden as there seems to be much less visibility outside? Anyways thanks for the videos, it's been a bit funny timing watching these on the northern hemisphere.
I have got one in later videos (coming up) because of the vibration coming through the mic, it’s much clearer. And yeah the lights in the old 400’s aren’t as bright as the ones in the new 600’s so the videos are a bit darker, but I’m working on trying to expose the videos better.
cool video! what location?
