GORO Mountain Resort has chosen the international company Prinoth to form a fleet of equipment for preparing ski slopes. The first three Prinoth Leitwolf snow groomers will operate on the slopes of the first phase of the mountain resort and will become part of the unified technological system of its winter infrastructure.

Thus, GORO is completing the formation of the technological ecosystem of its winter infrastructure. Following the conclusion of contracts with Demaclenko for the creation of an automated snowmaking system, the partnership with Prinoth adds slope preparation to GORO's key winter infrastructure systems planned for the resort's first phase.

GORO integrates the full cycle of winter infrastructure management—from snow production and distribution to daily slope preparation. This approach is used by world-class modern ski resorts, where snowmaking systems, slope preparation, lifts, and resort operational management work as a single integrated system.

Prinoth is one of the world's leaders in the production of snow groomers, with its headquarters in Italy. The company's solutions are used by ski resorts in Europe and North America, as well as by organizers of international sports competitions. 

Three Prinoth Leitwolf snow groomers, chosen for GORO, are equipped with digital solutions, including fleet management systems and snow depth measurement. These systems provide operators with real-time data on snow cover depth, aiding in more precise planning for slope preparation and snow management. This will enable the resort to manage snow cover data-driven: maintain consistent slope quality, move snow to areas where it is needed, and use resources more efficiently – water, energy, fuel, and labor.

The Leitwolf cab is designed for precise and comfortable operator work: central seat position, wide view of the slope and attachments, joystick controls, and machine functions on the touchscreen. The operator identification system can automatically load individual workstation settings for each operator. One of three machines will be equipped with an automatic winch. On steeper slopes, the cable provides additional traction and stability, allowing for precise preparation of complex terrain while simultaneously reducing snow displacement down the slope.

Prinoth and Demaclenko are part of the international industrial holding HTI Group — High Technology Industries. Together, their solutions form a technological ecosystem for managing winter infrastructure: Demaclenko equipment creates snow, while Prinoth machines help distribute, compact, and prepare the snow cover for the resort's daily operations.

The fleet of slope preparation equipment will grow along with the development of subsequent phases of GORO.
