Snow groomer, Snow grooming, piste basher or piste bashing on mountain, winter season, heavy snow


Snow grooming or piste bashing is the process to manipulate snow for recreational uses, usually using a snow groomer or piste basher vehicle (colloquially sometimes referred to as a "pistie beastie"). This can be a tractor, snowmobile, truck or snowcat towing specialized equipment to move and manipulate snow. The process is used to maintain ski hills, cross country ski trails and snowmobile trails by grooming (moving, flattening, rototilling, or compacting) the snow on them.
