This looks like an early version of the Beast. It's the same size:

Pretty sure that's the same cat I did a ride along in at the Canyons about 4 years ago. Technically then it was known as the BR500, and yup, it is the Beast, but before Pinafarino did the new exterior styling for Prinoth

Yours truly testing out the new rig (note that regardless of my title or career progression, this is where I really belong!):

Love that Alpine Flex cord! Smoother and more seamless than the BR cord beside it.

Since the weather is terrible in the east, here are some nice shots from A-Basin. They are grooming Montezuma Bowl which does not have snowmaking. They utilize a lot of snow fencing/farming to enable that area to open.

No snowmaking here at Cooper... just 100% Momma Nature's Best, and fortunately she's decided to be nice to us so far. I don't get out in the cat nearly as much as I'd like anymore, but did spend half a shift yesterday:

I went through a bunch of my grooming photos the other night, and thought it would be fun to put together a little slideshow portfolio. More corduroy than cat pix, but a few good ones stuffed in there.

Fullscreen and 720p for best quality:

Can't believe I never read through this thread until now. Great pics of Mt Ellen on this slideshow! Was also interesting to read that at Sugarbush LP was all PB and ME had a mix of Prinoth and PB cats. I see the grooming fleet at LP on a regular basis from the Super Bravo lift so knew they were all PB, but I rarely see the groomers at ME. I wonder if they still have some Prinoth cats over there.

I actually took a pretty cool pic from the summit of LP last weekend where you can see 4 of LP's grooming fleet just finishing up the Valley House side and heading back to the garage through the base area all in a row. I didn't realize they were even in the pic at the time I took it.

Beasts are the king of Prinoths fleet of crap. Huge waste of money. Their size doesn't make up for their cost upfront and fuel. And, it's a Prinoth, which put down a poor product.

Do your 5K hour rebuilds on them and Prinoths are fine machines.

If you have to rebuild engines at 5,000 hours on anything, you're doing it wrong. That's like rebuilding your Chevy small block at 50,000 miles.

Also, old BRs have Cat engines. Best engine besides the old Benz engines in the older and some new PBs. Those will go 15,000 hours and be fine.

What it comes down to is Prinoths leave a shit pass, have fallen behind in times, no upgrades and a service side of operations that doesn't care

The whole fleet is PBs now, to my knowledge. They offloaded the BR350 a few years ago. I think they're running mostly PB600s now.

The BR350 was a purchase for ME parks, basically. The park groomer at the time was a huge Prinoth guy, and somehow managed to convince the powers that be to purchase a yellow machine for him. We called it the "Atomic Lemon." BR350 is a great machine to run, but we had so much trouble with that machine.
