The future of
grooming is digital.

Snow depth measured in real time. Fleet routes optimized across the season. Maintenance digitized end-to-end. SnowSat is the data backbone of modern ski-area operations — and Peterson Equipment is your regional integrator. Sold, configured, calibrated, and supported by people who've spent the day on the mountain themselves.

Latest Generation · V3 LiDAR SnowSat LiDAR

Snow depth.
Measured by
light.

The V3 LiDAR sensor mounts to the cab roof and scans the surface ahead in real time — measuring snow depth not just under the tracks, but in front, beside, and around the machine. The operator sees what's there before the blade touches it. The result: predictive snow management, smarter pushing decisions, and dramatically more efficient use of every cubic meter of snow you make and move.

How it actually works

See the snow
before you push it.

Conventional snow depth measurement tells you what's under your tracks — useful, but reactive. The V3 LiDAR scans the area ahead of the machine continuously, building a live depth map as you groom. Operators see thin spots before they hit them, and snow reserves before they drive past them. Every shift becomes a more informed shift.

SnowSat iX

The cab. Connected.

SnowSat iX is the onboard system that turns every PistenBully into a connected, LiDAR-ready, data-producing machine — and gives the operator the live picture they need to make better decisions in real time.

Onboard Terminal

SnowSat iX

The iTerminal in every modern PistenBully isn't just a control panel — with SnowSat iX, it's a live data hub. Snow depth, route history, machine telemetry, and the operator's view of the depth map all share one screen, one interface, one workflow. Designed in Laupheim with the same engineering team that builds the snowcat.

Software Platform SnowSat Suite

One platform.
Every department.

SnowSat unites your departments on a single, continuously growing platform: year-round slope and route management, fleet management, maintenance, and overall ski-area operations. All your data, centralized — and accessible to the team that needs it, when they need it.

One Suite. Four modules.

Built for how a
ski area actually runs.

Each Suite module solves a specific operational pain. Pick the modules you need now — add the rest as your operation grows. Everything talks to everything else, by design.

AREA MANAGEMENT

SnowSat Area

Year-round slope and route management. Snow-depth heatmaps, push planning, terrain analytics — turn the smallest adjusting screws to open slopes earlier and reduce costs.

Use cases: slope planning · push optimization · terrain analytics
FLEET MANAGEMENT

SnowSat Fleet

Vehicle-to-vehicle communication and fleet-wide visibility. Know who's where, what they're grooming, and how the night-shift is tracking — in real time, from any device.

Use cases: shift dispatch · vehicle-to-vehicle · hour tracking
MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT

SnowSat Maintain

Digitize maintenance end-to-end. Telemetry-driven service intervals, parts ordering, work-order tracking. The bridge between software and the hardware/parts catalog. Manufacturer-agnostic.

Use cases: predictive service · parts ordering · multi-brand fleets

SNOWMAKING INTEGRATION

Technical Snowmaking

Hook SnowSat into your snowmaking system to coordinate snow production with depth data and forecast. Make snow where you actually need it — not where you've always made it.

Use cases: targeted snowmaking · gun control · resource planning
Why SnowSat

Conserve resources.
Save costs.

Resources and energy are getting rarer and more expensive. SnowSat doesn't just help you keep up — it helps you stay ahead. Real-world ski areas using SnowSat report measurable improvements across the metrics that matter most.

01

Open Earlier, Close Later

Precise snow-depth data extends the operating window on both ends. SnowSat data shows where to put thin-snow attention and where to back off. Days, not hours.

02

Reduce Energy & Snowmaking Cost

Target snowmaking at actual depth gaps, not assumed ones. Reduce diesel consumption per groomed kilometer by avoiding redundant pushes.

03

Cross-Department Visibility

Slope ops, snowmaking, fleet, and maintenance all working from the same data set. One source of truth across departments — and the team.

SnowSat unites every department on a continuously growing platform — slope, fleet, maintenance, the whole operation.

What Peterson Equipment adds

SnowSat is a powerful platform. It's also a multi-module rollout that benefits from someone who knows the terrain — literally and figuratively. PEC handles the on-site survey, sensor mounting and calibration, iX setup across your fleet, Suite onboarding for your team, and ongoing support as you scale.

We're trained directly by Kässbohrer on the SnowSat stack. We've installed it across resorts from Beaver to Brian Head. And our service team is on call when you need a sensor checked or a configuration adjusted mid-season.
