Grooming Machine.
Makes the snow nice and smooth!
Note the blade up front for pushing great lumps of snow while the yellow, tail end unit actually mulches the snow leaving a fine grooved finish. 		Medium                                                                       Large

A Bombardier. A very old style snow transport with tracked rear end and steering skids up front. Pretty bad at turning actually. 		Medium                                                                      Large

Typical Chalet accommodation hiding in the trees.

"Pass Village, Ki Resort!" As if that's not bad enough, check out the converted Land Cruiser driving through the baggage bay! This is actually our over snow bus to Charlotte Pass. It is a conventional 30 seater bus with standard wheels replaced by track units. 		Medium                                                                      Large

View down the bus. 		Medium                                                                     Large
