Cool news out of A-Basin where they are test driving the Prinoth Husky E-Motion. No commitment yet on swapping out the fleet from COO Alan Henceroth but they are currently putting it through its paces and providing feedback to Prinoth:
“For most of the rest of the season A-Basin is test driving a Prinoth Husky E-Motion electric snowcat. There are only a couple of these in the United States at this time. The other is at Taos. This cat isn’t quite as big as our normal grooming machines, but we are checking it out and giving Prinoth some feedback as to how it operates. We are doing some grooming tasks and other on-hill snowcat tasks like supporting our on-hill restaurants. The transition to electric vehicles is a lengthy process and we are glad to partner with Prinoth to test new equipment. For more details check out the Prinoth website.” -Alan Henceroth
