We know the concerns and problems of our customers and can work directly on the right solution.

Group create synergies that inspire and drive our technical innovations. Thus, our vehicles also offer an exciting alternative for applications that may seem “exotic” Werner Amort at first glance: PRINOTH AGRIPOWER is an excellent example of this (p. 131). President PRINOTH AG PRINOTHWORLD 2018 — PAGE 03 | 04 PREFACE INNOVATIVE AND INTERNATIONAL The question is why we, as a private company, are focusing on innovation. Companies are engaged in an unrelenting fight to gain an edge over competitors. We have to prove ourselves constantly and convince our customers again and again. Innovation and internationalization are the key to being successful in this ever-shrinking world, which is turning ever faster. We have to adapt so that we can anticipate trends and be successful in the future. But repeatedly setting sails into the unknown takes courage. It takes courage to develop and focus on new products, open up new markets and invest in them. The many upcoming changes such as automation, digitization, industry 4.0, self-driving vehicles - to name just a few buzzwords or trends - can undoubtedly lead to a feeling of anxiety. But these new condi- tions also offer opportunities if you recognize them as such and are flexible enough to adapt to and make the most of them. However, this adaptability, which is necessary to survive in the long term, must be matched by healthy and sustainable ethics. Anton Seeber President LEITNER Group PRINOTHWORLD 2018 — PAGE 05 | 06 WORLD CUP 50 YEARS OF SKI WORLD CUP IN VAL GARDENA PRINOTH POWER FOR WORLD CHAMPIONS In 2017, the Val Gardena World Cup celebrated its 50th anniversary with a fabulous party. PRINOTH, as a partner of the first hour, couldn’t miss the event. The Val Gardena World Cup, together with PRINOTH, has contributed significantly to the growth of skiing in the Dolomites. Val Gardena is a place steeped in winter sports history: the Alpine Ski World Cup was founded in 1967 and the first downhill ski race on the breathtaking Saslong slope was held on February 14, 1969 - whilst Ernst Prinoth built his first snow groomer in 1962. The Saslong, with the notorious key stages Camel Humps, Sochers jumps, and Ciaslat Meadow, has become legendary and not only because it is extremely demanding on the athletes’ technical and sporting skills! It is also one of the most popular downhill runs in Italy. The first downhill in 1969 was followed by 54 more and 16 Super-Gs, as well as some combined and technical runs. PRINOTH has always been there to help skiers make their way to the finish line. For the FIS Downhill and Super-G competitions, a large celebration program honored the history of the world-famous Saslong, full of all the anecdotes, surprises and ski wonders it has seen. The highlight of the 50th anniversary celebration was a big show on Friday, December 15, 2017, to which PRINOTH snow groomers made their big (TV) appearance. PRINOTHWORLD 2018 — PAGE 09 | 10 PRINOTH HISTORY Even if some might think that the devil has his finger in the pie - don‘t worry: we haven‘t sold our soul. THE HISTORY OF PRINOTH: The beginnings of PRINOTH are rooted in Val Gardena where the racing driver Ernst Prinoth opened a car repair shop in 1951. Ernst Prinoth was an inventor - always looking for ways DEVILISHLY GOOD to make “good” better. Fascinated by fast engines and technical innovations, as well as a passionate skier at the same time, he started developing his first snow groomers. QUALITY FROM A PERFECT BLEND OF TRADITION AND INNOVATION Vision, foresight and a passion for technology - these are the ingredients for the success that PRINOTH has enjoyed over the decades. As part of the LEITNER Group, our company, which is SOUTH TYROL TAKEN steeped in tradition and continued to grow and become what it is today - half a century later: THE synonym for vehicles on tracks of the highest quality. Meanwhile, PRINOTH has become a global player that is firmly rooted in its Tyrolean homeland and culture. In the midst of the AROUND THE WORLD mountains and in the heart of winter sports, young sports enthusiasts meet today as they did in the past to continue paving the way for skiing. What is new, however, is that nowadays, we are in communication with colleagues and partners all over the world.

The history of PRINOTH is the best example of No mountain is too steep, no terrain too extreme and no challenge too big - PRINOTH Tyrol’s entrepreneurial spirit. vehicles conquer mountains, winning over even the most demanding customers. PRINOTHWORLD 2018 — PAGE 11 | 12 DIGITIZATION With the new fleet management system from PRINOTH, all vehicle data is transmitted live on a standard platform.

Johnsen Company of Portland. Despite these early glimmers of skiing awareness, when the sport began its ascendancy to popularity in the 1930s, the state’s likeliest venues were more distant, and public land ownership less widespread, than was the case in the neighboring states of New Hampshire and Vermont, and ski area development in those states was consequently greater.

Received: 17 August 2020; Accepted: 15 December 2020; Published: 18 December 2020 Abstract: Climate change affects snowpack properties indirectly through the greater need for artificial snow production for ski centers. The seasonal snowpacks at five ski centers in Central Slovakia were examined over the course of three winter seasons to identify and compare the seasonal development and inter-seasonal and spatial variability of depth average snow density of ski piste snow and uncompacted natural snow. The spatial variability in the ski piste snow density was analyzed in relation to the snow depth and snow lances at the Košútka ski center using GIS. A special snow tube for high-density snowpack sampling was developed (named the MM snow tube) and tested against the commonly used VS-43 snow tube. Measurements showed that the MM snow tube was constructed appropriately and had comparable precision. Significant differences in mean snow density were identified for the studied snow types.

    ! ! GANONG’S COLT MOWS DOWN THEM ALL IN SANTA CATERINA VALFURVA by Claudio Pea A success for the American who comes from the lake dear to Kit Carson and lives with Michelle Marie Gagnon – Another fantastic podium for Dominik Paris, the fourth of the season. And now it’s a second place in the DH World Cup – Second place for the Olympic champion Matthias Mayer – A change in the start because of the strong wind damages Christof Innerhofer – Eleventh place for Peter Fill, who has got fever SANTA CATERINA VALFURVA, DECEMBER 28TH - There is always someone who – for a few hundredth of a second – spoils Dominik Paris’ party. This time those “someone” are an American who comes from the town of Kit Carson, the legendary pioneer of the far west, and the number one of the Austrians, the Olympic DH champion in Sochi, Matthias Mayer. Travis Ganong, the winner of the Santa Caterina Valfurva Downhill World Cup lives with his Canadian girlfriend Marie Michelle Gagnon (she is a specialist of technical World Cup races) on Lake Tahoe, on the border between California and Nevada. Before today’s exploit he was on the podium only once, third place in the Kvitfjell DH, last year. However, for better or worse – and perhaps taking advantage of the long absence of Svindal and Guay due to injury – he is always one of the top DH 7. He grew up in the legendary Squaw Valley ski area, the home of the 1960 Winter Games and was a freeskier before dedicating to alpine skiing. “I love my mountains and the beautiful lake, and of course Marie Michelle.
