amazing to see the amount of work that goes in to create a 'simple' piste. major respect to all the operators
what a waste of energy just to satisfy a few skiers every winter season
@@donkykon2094 back in your box donky
@@donkykon2094 it wouldnt be done if it wasnt profitable.
@@donkykon2094 yea because the energy “ “?? What do you even mean.
Bigger waste of energy is the food scraps you toss. Or the newest equipment if whatever you buy every time.
This isn’t even such big energy waste.
Also couple, you mean millions every winter
I have a whole new respect for these people. They are artists of snow. Thanks for this great video.
I never thought about the work at the beginning of the season - only the overnight repairs - very skilled work 👍
beautiful. whenever I visit the mountains I can find a calmness in the air that I cannot find anywhere else on this planet
Mega Video!!!!! Bis jetzt das qualitativ beste Video über Pisten Bullys das ich bis jetzt gesehen habe!!! Props gehen raus an Blumepictures!!
Sehr schön. Supper
Man, this is an art form. These men are artists!
As a life long skier, I love this. Beautiful!
Great video! It was very informative, as well as, interesting. I have a new found respect for the PistenBully grooming machine and their operators. Plus the shear size and beauty of Laax, makes me want to go there today.
Thanks to every Bullydriver, for working till night for we have a nice day.
There is nothing like working in the mountains. I used to be a cable car machinist during summers, King of the Hill you are, all the time.
So bad that season was interrupted due to Corona. Great job. Thanks
As soon as our group can muster enough money, we are definitely going to Laax. That place has been on my bucket list for a while now!
thanks for keeping the slopes crisp
Always like seeing these heroes in action that make sure we have great slopes to have fun on :)
Was there last summer and I’ll be there again in just over a week. Can’t wait to go skiing again 😁
dieses video ist richtig gut gemacht! hatte ich überhaupt nicht erwartet
Oh swiss german - I was like I can understand him, but I can't LOL
Der Spricht nicht mal Krass mit Akzent den Verstehe sogar ich und ich komme aus Norddeutschland
The way he pronounces "crap" is a national treasure to his country
I skied every Friday night with snow at Snoqualmie Pass for 10 years. Sometimes it was a foot of fresh wet snow with an inch of crust. You don't turn in the snow. Your tracks look like hash marks. Some nights we were the only ones on the hill and we chased the ski patrol. A groomed hill is really enjoyable and a whole lot of people have a lot of fun because of those groomers.

White subtitles in the snow. Great idea
Did it for a short time. These guys make it look EASY!
Informativ, cool, stylisch, interessant - Perfektes Video.
I thought working as Greenkeeper would be the best job. But this seems even better. Working in such heights must be awesome. I guess working as Greenkeeper in summer and as Pistenbully-Driver in winter, would be like heaven.
Grüße aus NRW ihr Schwizerdütsche :D
Viele Dank allne Piste Bully Fahrer für eue isatz das mir uf de piste chönd Ski & Snowboard fahre. Wet unbedingt wiedermal uf Laax!
Laax is a wonderful place to ski, I was there a few times.
thank you for you hard work!
See U guys in a week, keep up the amazing job y’all doing! It’s one of the reasons i keep coming to LAAX at least once a year🤘🏻
oh wow cool video ...I always wondered how those huge pipes where maintained.... thumbs up from
Lake George, NY USA !!!
2:44 Just soaking in the natural splendor.
Amazing video. The processing of the slopes is very interesting
Wonderful place!! 🇨🇭🚠⛷🏂
What a cool job!
This was so fun and fascinating, thank you!
Maybe not easy but certainly fun....and the moon, sun risings and sunsets are worth the price
ok that was super interesting and impressive! but at the same time it makes me even happier about being in the backcountry and _not_ on the resort piste.
great job Laax Team and park amazing shaped
I agree. Driving the piston bully 400 is the best job I've ever had
Tolles Video!
Thanx to the bull riders. Einmal mehr ein Beruf, welcher von uns Nörglern unterschätzt wird. Take care and keep an eye on the attitude indicator! Greets from Los Angeles 😎
Laax is my favorite Skiresort I love the perfekt slopes and I can often practice on my jumps in the snow park :)
One question, can you please name all music in this video 🙏🙏
1:02 when people ask me what it's like being a mechanic for a living...
This is art
Nice to see but please let online the entire replays of Halfpipe etc...
No wonder why you need a loan to get a season pass there
In California the resorts are shittier but pass prices are the same
Consider the insane ski prices in the US....
@Chase Leibowitz The infrastructure has to come from somewhere. The roads to the resort only exist because of the resort. The first aid and medical teams have to be on station. The whole place exists to ski. You get what you pay for.
@@dadcanufixit Its set up now for season passes. I have a pass at Killington Vt and purchase early 1000.00 which is reasonably. If you purchase a lift ticket for a day or two I think the price is insane. For those of us who have the virus skiing is not an option, its a way of life and who we are, I was born to ski, so is my daughter. She is smart and moving west, I will follow.
@@mtadams2009 It's even harder for some who live in countries that have no snow or resorts for skiing. In these cases we have travel and accommodation expenses on top of ski passes. Its even worse when illness robs you of any opportunity to indulge in your passion. I envy those that live close enough to the mountains that they can travel in and out for a day.
I'd love to ride with/control one of those one day! Thanks for the video!
My brother operates a bully in laax. I had the chance to drive it once. Its so freakin difficult to operate the plow
Fantastisch ...
its like art.
Name of the song in intro is "Dreaming Lucifer"
What were they snorting off the back of their hands at the end of the video??
Ever since Vail bought up one of our local resorts they like to take our dollars and spend it at their high end resorts, I say this because since their take over they’ve cut the number of qualified groomer drivers and left us with ones that will leave basically a curb down the middle a run. You’ll go from making big GS turns then out of nowhere hit one of these 4” curbs, or like yesterday we decided to go up because it was supposed to be warm and sunny, and thought we could go ride some fresh groomers to strengthen our legs for the powder days. But they seen the weather forecast and thought since we groomed yesterday, we’ll just do a couple tracks on each chair instead of their typical groom everything daily.
Respect!
What is the maximum slope of the snow groomer? Thanks for the reply.
My goal is to one day be able to go to LAAX and snowboard.
Good luck if you have spare arm and leg😭
I live one hour from there ahahha
This is my first year as a groomer at a ski resort it is getting a handle on the blade but I find the more I do it the better I become.. any tips would be welcome thanks
wow, awesome.
Amazing vid! :) What is the title of the last song?
cool video!
This is Great! So technological, professional and beautiful! I’m sure that I’ll somehow ride along the slopes and be able to evaluate your work live!
A Bully is a way better name than a Snow Groomer or Sno-Cat.
In Italian its Gatto delle nevi with translates to cat of the snows
and how many MILLIONS are tied up in those grooming machines.
They call them that because the company that those machines are is Pistenbully. Some mountains have Prinoth, another brand, or they have a mix
Cools Video!! Schön wars bei euch..!! Merci nomol füar dr perfekte Support immer!!
Laax Flims Falera is a great place.
Not all heroes wear capes
Cooles video! Wie heißen die titel der music?
These guys would definitely make great dozer operators.
Alita battle angel. they need to make a sequel.
thanks for this video
Super Video
R E S P E C T !
What is the purpose of the cable attached to thevehicule ?
to keep it from falling down the mountain and to get back up the slope.
9:14 they all did a rail.
There's so much powder on the hills
Where is this?
Laax, Switzerland (www.laax.com)
Cooles Video!🤣
What is the song at 4:11 called???
The song at 05:30 is Out in the cold from Josh Leake
Name of the first song pls
Dreaming lucifer - dan ayalon
0:00 - 0:11 is what i vibe on
The truck drivers of the snow
Tommaso Friz I love seeing them using their lights at night, working the snow so I can have a great day on groomers the next morning!
Is there any school where you learn to operate this machine?
@@gavindempsey2662 thanks

My plan to get there now is likely to be postponed to 2022......Sad face
Netherlands??

Whats stopping you?
I always thought that the snow-free slopes were there in the summer too
Magnifique! Merci beaucoup pour partager.
Anyone else notice Coldplay in the background?
What are all the cables for?
Clayton Rutgers for the bullys to hook up so they wont slip on the pist :)
It’s called a winch cat for steep runs it keeps it from losing control and falling
Wich language(country) is this
Switzerland. They are speaking swiss german.
great b roll
I have one in my garage.
Respekt😯
Anyone else here in 1/2023 because of actor Jeremy Renner’s accident? He apparently owns one and was involved in a serious accident with his Pistenbully.
Ich hab den englischen Untertitel gebraucht um zu verstehen was die sagen 😂😂
Ging mir auch mal so, bevor ich in die Schweiz kam :D aber eigentlich ist es nicht so schwierig, ein beispiel: Rechnung = Rechnig ... einfach "-ung" mit "ig" wechseln :D
Mega geiles video 💪👍
Sweet Footage man. The Groomer footage is great. Let is snow like Dean Martin.
Ich hab mir nie gedanken über den Pistenbau gemacht
Wie chunt eigentlich de Benzin ⛽️ döt druf?
Das Benzin wird im Sommer per Lastwagen in die Bullygaragen Nagens und Crap Sogn Gion transportiert.
Da darfs dann nicht brennen...
@@LAAXchannel Wieviel Liter Diesel wäre das auf Grap und Nagens? Und reicht das für die ganze Wintersaison? Weil ja teilweise auch via Grap Gondel transportiert wird. Gruss aus Flims
why do they put artificial snow on real snow?
To make sure that there is enough snow for the rest of the season. You can learn more about our snow production here: ua-cam.com/video/PVQkBErDSpE/v-deo.html
whats the name of sound track at 9:13min ???
