Thanks to an incredible outpouring of community support, Mohonk Preserve is now home to a brand‑new 84” Ginzu Groomer. The equipment is already making a noticeable difference on the southern side of the Preserve, grooming Overcliff and Trapps Roads. The Shawangunk Nordic Ski Association (SNSA) led the charge, rallying more than 70 donors in just one month, including the Salt Foundation Family, local businesses, and skiers from near and far.

SNSA members and Mohonk Preserve staff gathered at the West Trapps trailhead to celebrate the arrival of the new groomer. The Ginzu Groomer, produced by Yellowstone Track Systems, is known for its durability and precision. Its adjustable cutting knives and heavy‑duty compaction mat help our grooming team create beautifully consistent corduroy and classic tracks, even when conditions are variable.
