Taking matters into our own hands

Posted on 15 September 2008 by ..E-


For years and years park builders have talked about how to build a better hip faster and easier. Usually a good hip takes tens of man hours shoveling for something that can’t ever be groomed again. It just the nature of good steep hip landings that there is no really good way to fix them once they have be riden and mellow hips that a snowcat can groom really aren’t all that fun to ride. Well, after all the years of dreaming we are going to do something about this problem…BOREAL IS BUILDING A HIP CUTTER. We got our hands on a used HPGR17 which with a fair amount of fabricration will become the first ever purpose built hip building/grooming machine. This will allow us to consistently build and maintain hip landings anywhere from 45-75 degrees of pitch. Fabrication will take place this fall so look out for a mid winter launch of the BOREAL HIP CUTTER!
