I've tweaked the title of this thread; perhaps we could post replies when we see impressive results appearing on the webcams?


Agreed, their praises need to be sung.....

The Pisteurs (ski patrollers) are the people responsible for safety and rescue. It's a pretty risky job that doesn't pay that well, but they always get to make the first tracks.



Snow making is carried out by the grooming team, its pretty labour intensive especially at this time of year when the base for the coming season is being laid down. It takes 40 people to operate Zermatt's 760 snow lances and 40 snow cannons. Snow cannons are gradually being replaced by lances as their operation can be automated.
