It also allows for multiple loading stations. www.wiegandsportsusa.com

PRINOTH HUSKY SNOW GROOMER AND NORDIC LINER

PRINOTH Husky snow groomer and Nordic Liner PRINOTH’s Husky snow groomer, equipped with the new Nordic Liner, is well suited for preparing cross-country ski trails. Comprised of a standard full-width tiller, track setting plates, and optional individual track tiller(s), the HUSKY’s cross-country configuration offers options to fit a broad range of requirements. Lateral blades on each side of the track-setting plates provide stabilization, ensuring higher precision when preparing cross-country trails, and the improved central ice-cutting blades loosen the snow in front of the track-setting glides. Individual track tillers can also be installed between the main (full-width) tiller and the track setting plates, providing finer snow to be compacted in the track-setting phase. www.prinoth.com

SKIRING

SkiRing is an innovative ski training tool designed to assist in proper hand placement for skiers ages 3 and up by holding the lightweight, durable plastic ring out in front of them while skiing. Keeping the skiers’ hands in front supports proper athletic stance, motivates downhill focus, decreases anxiety, and inspires imaginative play while learning. A quiet upper body allows the skier to focus on foot and ankle movement and discourages flailing and dropping the hands down or back. The SkiRing was designed by a certified PSIA ski instructor, and is made in the U.S.A. www.ski-ring.com
