SKI TRACK MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A snow track maintenance system comprising:
- a frame extending along a first longitudinal axis;
a mounting assembly secured to the frame for mounting the frame to a vehicle so as to be trailed therefrom along a direction of displacement oriented along the first longitudinal axis; and
a leveller mounted to the frame so as to be pivotable relatively to the direction of displacement and so as to contact a snowy ground under the frame when the frame is mounted to the vehicle.

Abstract
A snow track maintenance system is described herein including a frame extending along an axis which is oriented along a direction of displacement, a mounting assembly secured to the frame for mounting the frame to a motorized vehicle so as to be trailed therefrom along the direction of displacement, and a leveller mounted to the frame so as to be pivotable relatively to the direction of displacement. Other equipments may further be provided to the maintenance system, including a snow regenerator mounted to the frame along a first longitudinal axis generally perpendicular to the direction of displacement, and a snow compactor mounted to the frame upstream from the snow regenerator. The system can be used for the maintenance of alpine ski tracks and cross-country ski tracks, even in an underbrush trail, and allows setting a track on any type of snow.

19. A ski track maintenance system comprising:
-
a frame extending along a first longitudinal axis; a mounting assembly secured to the frame for mounting the frame to a motorized vehicle downstream therefrom so as to move the frame along a direction of displacement oriented along the first longitudinal axis; a snow regenerator mounted to the frame; a snow compactor mounted to the frame downstream from the snow regenerator; a leveller mounted to the frame upstream from the snow regenerator; and a track setter positioned downstream from the snow compactor and secured to the frame via a lever which biases the track setter towards a snowy ground when the ski track maintenance system lays thereon.
