Ski trip in winter, what could be better? At the same time, none of us ever wonders where this ski track came from, these two parallel stripes on the snow. Who is the "pioneer"? To be honest, from personal experience, this person is mysterious… And no matter how you try to get out on skis before everyone else, even on the first snowfall, or after a heavy snowfall, to lay a ski slope- someone has already done everything, guessed the direction between the trees - use it.
How to lay a ski trail? How to make a ski route attractive?
We have already touched on the first method, and it is the most common: — "get up" on skis and trample the ski track forward. We drove back and forth, a trickle of the same fans has already reached out for you, and in principle everything is ready, the ski track is ready. True, everything is crooked, but the pleasure for the mass of people is inexhaustible.
The main thing is that the ski track does not coincide along the route with lovers of snowmobiling (a fly in the ointment). Although snowmobilers can be taught to work in the literal sense, for the benefit of humanity, or simply treats skiers with respect.
Method two: You really like skiing, and would like to go on a more or less good track. You have a snowmobile stalled in the corner in your garage, bought as a tribute to fashion. Then we attach it to the case. By the way, if you manage to negotiate with other owners of snowmobiles, they will also help you, and there will be no one to spoil the future ski track.
So, first decide what you want: a track for skating, or just for classics. In principle, the initial training is the same, only for a skate you need a width of at least 2-2.5 meters, so if your ski route runs in the forest, consider this. We're going to talk about the skate track. It is better, of course, to explore the area in summer. Determining the route. Pay special attention to stumps, fallen trees, and other objects, if possible, remove them or mark them in any way. Since they can cause damage to both the snowmobile and the EQUIPMENT FOR LAYING the ski TRACK.
It's finally snowing. The long-awaited moment has come when you can safely go out on a snowmobile. Personally, at first I just ride along the track, rolling away. By the way, the wider the snowmobile's track ("caterpillar"), the better. The utilitarian snowmobile has a track of 60 cm. 4-5 travel of 60 cm, that's the required width. The more we ride, the better. This compacts the snow. We recommend that you immediately mark the route with markers if it passes through the fields. Since there is sometimes so much snow that it is not possible to find a track, and you don't want to lose your labors, you don't want to do double work. Of course, everything that has been done looks a little like a track, but by cutting a classic ski track along the edge with a special "plotter for a classic ski track", or as it is called a "cutter", you can quite ride a classic.
Now there is an opportunity to talk about the equipment for laying the ski track. The cutter for laying a ski track is designed for laying a classic ski track. It is also called a ski stacker, a ski plumber, but whatever you call it, it is a tool for laying two parallel grooves in the snow for skiing. A ski cutter can have a cutting and pressing principle of operation. The cutting principle is that the profile of the ski slope is cut out with special knives in the surface of the snow cover, used only with a sufficient amount of snow. It is not always effective in fluffy, light snow. With poor knowledge of the route, contact with obstacles hidden under the snow is possible, which leads to damage to the snowmobile or the cutter itself. For fluffy, loose snow, it is necessary to use the pressure mode of laying the ski track, which can be used with any amount of snow, and in any condition. At the same time, the ski track plotter must have sufficient (30-40kg) weight.
The only cutter in the world for laying a ski track has the ability to lay a ski track both by pressing and cutting, this is the XCSPORT cutter, which combines both variants of laying a ski track in its design. That is why it is a truly universal ski track plotter for any weather and snow conditions. With a fairly light weight of 32 kg, it allows you to make a ski track with any thickness and condition of the snow cover.
The SNOWPRO company produces cutters for laying the ski track for the classic XCSPORT ski track and harrows for laying the SNOWPRO skate ski track, which are used by sports enthusiasts and professionals preparing trails for the largest international starts.
The SNOWPRO company is a supplier of the Biathlon World Championship in Khanty-Mansiysk, its products have been tested on hundreds of ski trails throughout Russia.
A harrow for laying a ski track for skating is a device that allows you to compare the trackbed. All the flaws in the form of bumps are cut off, the pits are sprinkled. The surface of the track becomes smooth. All samples have one principle of operation — alignment of the route with knives.
So after we have mapped out the route by snowmobile, we use a trick in the form of old tires. We fasten five tires together in the form of "Olympic" symbols, 2 in front-3 behind. We hook up to the snowmobile with a rope, and go ahead to the track. We sort of shovel the excess snow, drag it along the canvas. We pass several times.
After these preparatory activities, we proceed to work with equipment for preparing ski trails. With a harrow for processing the surface of the ski slope, we level the canvas. Ideally, it should turn out like an "ironing board". We alternate all subsequent work with the track, then with tires, if a lot of snow fell the day before, then with mandatory "burying". You can always pick up a ski cutter to a snowmobile to lay the classics along the edge or slightly away from the skating track. Going out on a snowmobile 2-3 times a week, you can get quite a decent skating track with classics cut next to it.
We prepared tracks not much different from the professional level. However, more efforts are being made for this. In summer, pits were filled in, bridges made of logs were built across streams, and the surface was leveled. Believe me, your labors will be noticeable all winter. And what could be more pleasant than a simple THANK YOU from many people who love skiing.
Of course, you will not briefly tell all the secrets of preparing ski trails. Here, the weather must be taken into account, and the state of the snow. And where to buy special equipment for the arrangement of the ski track? There is little choice in our market today. Basically, these are either foreign analogues, or made artisanal in the garage.
The company "SNOWPRO" tried to help all lovers of skiing. Our cutters and harrows for the arrangement of ski trails have proven themselves well, and will become a reliable assistant to you.
