Groomers

Bison X Park Show

Prinoth’s park pro defends its reputation in convincing style.

For the second year in a row, snow-covered Tignes (F) was the setting for the European Winter X Games, the special freestyle event based on the American model of the X Games in Aspen, Colorado. As the official snow groomer partner to the event, Prinoth made four Bison X park pros available to the American shapers who had traveled specially to Tignes to handle the grooming, thus ensuring excellent conditions for eight spectacular competitions.

On the last day of the three-day event, March 18, 2011, Prinoth took advantage of the occasion presented by the European Winter X Games to stage its own spectacular Bison X Park Show. That gave the snow-park-conscious participants an opportunity to observe the Bison X at work on a funpark up close and also to put the agile jump shapers to the test themselves. So the get-together for the funpark scene provided a mutual exchange of information and shop talk, while visitors had the additional advantage of benefiting from both events.

Thanks to its agility and power, exclusive equipment, and the exceptional cutting angle of the blade, the Bison X was the star of the European Winter X Games and successfully defended its reputation once again as a top performer for shaping and grooming snow parks.
