Night slalom on the Planai
“At night, the slopes belong to us”
To thunderous applause, Manuel Feller, Marco Schwarz and their opponents plunge down the Planai in front of thousands of fans at the night race on Tuesday and Wednesday. When Manfred Perhab makes his runs, the piste belongs to him alone - he has been grooming the slopes in and around Schladming for 40 years. Despite having a large team, the preparation for the ski event always remains a matter for the boss - he shared his secrets with the "Krone".
"Feeling. Only feeling." With over 500 hp and several tons under his butt, it's hard to believe that Wolfgang Perhab needs nothing more than this feeling to steer the "Prinoth Leitwolf", the flagship of the 27-strong fleet of snow groomers in Schladming. But: the man must know. He has been grooming slopes since 1986 - and still drives them himself, even though he has long been head of the Planai service crew and central works council: "At night, the slopes belong to us. We start at half past four in the evening - and we're on the go until three or four in the morning."
