PistenBully: Park Fleet is complete
The PistenBully 400 ParkPro has been an indispensable part of building snow parks for quite some time. The new generation of this model was presented in 2022 – with a new look and for the first time with its intuitive operating concept, numerous assistance systems and many optimizations.
Then in 2024, the PistenBully 600 Polar ParkPro entered the spotlight. It pushes, cuts and shapes in large snow parks with impressive power and efficiency. Now the PistenBully 100 ParkPro is rounding out the lower range: Due to its smaller dimensions, it is suited especially well for building terrain parks and family parks.
But even outside of parks, these models are an absolute win.

ParkPro:
The familiar face in snow park building
It grew up as the PistenBully 400 Park back in the 1990s when the parks came into being – and to this day it has remained the unbeatable professional tool in this segment. In close collaboration with the professional shapers of the world, it was continuously developed and optimized accordingly to their needs.
It is and remains the standard for creativity and perfection in parks. By balancing the relationship between power and weight, it guarantees excellent maneuverability.
Its newest highlight: now it also comes in a winch version with Active Winch, which enables automatic steering assistance by the winch and optimum steering properties even in difficult slope conditions and with a lateral tensile load.

PistenBully 600 Polar ParkPro:
Power and control in park building
With its pushing performance and optimum power-to-weight ratio, the PistenBully 600 Polar ParkPro quickly became established in the arena of freestyle and snow parks. Thanks to NoDeck (the deliberate removal of the loading platform), it also offers an unobstructed view of the tiller and tiller shaft – for faster, easier and safer work.
It is the first choice for moving large quantities of snow, creating “archetypes“ or building really huge jumps. The greater freedom of movement of the park auxiliary equipment in front and back make it suitable for a variety of uses.
With patented functions such as AutoTracer, SlopeTracer and the optional SNOWsat or SNOWsat LiDAR system, it sets new standards in the industry.

PistenBully 100
ParkPro:
New possibilities in snow park building
The smaller dimensions of PistenBully 100 ParkPro make it the most maneuverable PistenBully for snow park building, so it is the compact solution for smaller parks and fun slopes as well as challenging terrain adjustments. The new 3.2 m ProFlexTiller opens up limitless creative possibilities with its active control of the tiller angles up to +/-7°.
It can effortlessly shape a wide variety of park features and other unique attractions, such as steep curves, thanks to its ability to adapt to the surface. Whether kids‘ slope style, fun line, indoor fun or toboggan run – the PistenBully 100 ParkPro masters every challenge.
By having a compact design and the highest power in its class, it saves not only snow and space, but also costs.

Tools of the park fleet
All three park versions excel due to their innovative features, which make them professional tools in snow park building:
ProBlade:
ProBlade with SideCutter and One-TouchStraight function makes everything even sharper: This technology makes it possible to groom the snow with precision, provides for ideal cutting edges of the “wall“ and models kickers with even greater finesse. The One-TouchStraight function sets the blade straight at the push of a button, without limiting the forward or backward movement of the side wings.
This has a positive effect on the snow flow (the snow intake and discharge) out of the blade. Now it can be tilted backward for better snow transport. With the PistenBully 400 and 600 ParkPro, integrated hydraulic transport tines are the solution for moving park equipment.

ProMount swap system:
Strong cylinders, high-performance proportional hydraulics, streamlined steel construction with modified kinematics: These all enable the ProMount swap system to master wideranging terrain requirements – even outside of the park – precisely, quickly and powerfully. And they increase the versatility of the machines.
The even greater movement radii make for more flexibility of the attachments. All of the implements can be operated simultaneously. Ideal for shaping and reshaping kickers and ramps, jumps and pipes – and now with the PistenBully 100 ParkPro, there are no more limits even in the terrain park!

with many features.
ProFlexTiller:
With almost double the flex angle and active control of the V/A position, this tiller offers optimum adaptation to the slope conditions and thus extraordinary possibilities for designing obstacles and terrain features: The Freeze function not only allows operators to approach any end or intermediate tiller position actively but also to map each and every contour.
The existing ground contour is traced (recorded) in a floating position and then locked hydraulically. Now with the PistenBully 100 ParkPro this also opens up new possibilities for fun slopes in the form of banked turns and other attractions.

“By introducing the PistenBully 100 ParkPro, we are completing our park fleet,“ says Alexander Dehm, Sales Manager at PistenBully.
“This model is not only ideal for building terrain parks and family parks, but is also increasingly in demand in normal use for grooming slopes and cross-country ski trails. The larger movement radii offer numerous new possibilities even outside of parks.“
