Snow Farming

The snow infrastructure of a modern ski resort consists of snowmaking and snow storages. By combining the best aspects of both, snow security will be improved, and snowmaking costs will be reduced.

Guaranteed season start

It is easier for training groups and visitors to purchase the services of the ski resort when the exact opening date of the snow season is known months in advance. Being able to guarantee snow also enhances the ski resort’s image and boosts sales throughout the season.

Snow Secure’s concept provides the best results when you want to guarantee snow in an area of 2,000 – 300,000 m³ at the beginning of the skiing season.

Sustainable solution

The acquisition of snow storage covers is also a valid investment that can be entered in the company’s balance sheet. These covers can be reused year after year, with an expected lifetime of 20 years. In investment calculations, a usage time of over 10 years can be considered.

At many ski resorts, water is a valuable resource. A snow storage pile acts as a form of water storage, reducing the need to build expensive water reservoirs for snowmaking or to pump water up the slopes. In each 10,000 m³ of snow stored in the autumn, there is 60% water. This means you have an additional 6,000 m³ of water to use or save for the following season.

Fastest installation

It takes maximum one working day for a team of six people to insulate or disassemble a 5-30,000 m³ snow storage pile, making the Snow Secure solution the fastest to install!

Snow Storage panels

The expected service life of a UV-protected, PVC laminated snow storage panel is 20 years. The XPS insulation material is widely used in Nordic countries to keep houses warm during cold winters, with an expected lifetime of more than 50 years.

Ultimate protection in all conditions

The Snow Secure solution provides superior insulation and protection against all extreme weather conditions: sun rays, heat, rain, and wind.

24/7 Remote temperature monitoring

We also provide 24/7 remote temperature and drop height monitoring. In the spring of 2025, we will introduce remote monitoring for measuring the drop height change. We can monitor each centimeter as the snow storage height decreases
