The grooming operations require the use of a winch, which poses a real danger to the skier who would come into contact with the steel cable. The steel cable can be difficult, sometimes impossible, to detect because it can sway or be hidden under snow or under full tension when the groomer applies a load to it. Note that the cables can be up to 1000 metres long and these are used.
