Very specifically, in the proposal, we speak to the groomers. The groomers were inserted so you can see what actually makes our trails. We use the snowmobile to ride the trail, but what makes the trail flat and smooth like a highway? It takes a grader to level the product. We use the snow to make the uneven ground flat where the trail might be because our trails aren't based on four feet of riprap, two feet of crushed rock, and then pavement. Most of our trails are out in the country through the bush, through the forest, through the trees. Across the rivers, we put a bridge in. We use the snow like a road-building material. These groomers like you see on the ski hill are exactly what we have.
The current price of the PBs, or the Pisten Bully, or the Prinoth units that pull and drag behind them to groom trails, with the new tier four, they're $70,000 each. We have 1,200 of them out in the snow across Canada and we're looking at refurbishing our fleet. The average age of the units now is getting over 10 years. Part of the investment we see is going back into the groomers.
This very specific ask is to work with us over a longer term to raise our snowmobile trails to a new level. The concept is to raise them by going to bulk buying, and replace the ones in right parts of Canada.
