See the 3-D printed snowcat in action and other exciting updates for this month.
Want to operate the 3D-printed PistenBully this winter?
Meet Willem Smith, who you may know from Instagram as 4x3D_models. Willem is an engineering student at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York. If you're a snowcat enthusiast like us, you’ve probably seen videos of this large, 3D-printed model he built. Willem has used his fully functional PistenBully 600 model to clear driveways and push dirt around — and it leaves a perfect corduroy pass.
Do you want to try it this winter? Come see us at the National Ski Area Association shows. At both the NSAA West show in January and the NSAA East show in February, Willem and his incredible model will be there with us!
Don't Miss The Whitespace Drop
In collaboration with Official Operator Frank Wells, we will be releasing a limited run of PistenBully x Whitespace jackets for both men and women. Make sure Fan Shop alerts are enabled for you to receive the drop announcement.

What’s your favorite PistenBully model? The PistenBully 400.
Give us a short synopsis of your career in this industry. I have 12 years of experience as a heavy equipment mechanic. I worked in PistenBully’s Sierra branch shop as a Service Technician for 3 years before transitioning to the Technical Services department as an Analyst. In total, I’ve been with PistenBully for 5 years now.
What’s the best part of your job? I’m one of the people who answers your technical support phone calls, so the best part is easily getting to help out resorts and customers. It’s great to be able to get your machine back up and running.
What do you like to do outside of work? Outside of work is all about fun and family. Of course, skiing in the winter and enjoying the summer in any way possible. Lots of camping and wake surfing, just watching my kids learn and grow. I have a wife, two kids, and two dogs, so life is busy!
