Interest in Snowmaking

The economic outcomes of the ski industry are well known, and snowmaking is now a key factor in its success.

Besides the problem of natural snow coverage seasons, snow is degraded and lost throughout the season either because of the winds, ground breaks, sublimation effects or rain. Nonetheless, the main cause of deterioration is still skier traffic on the slopes.

Depending on the situation, snowmaking helps you to accomplish the following goals:

  • Ensure snow coverage at the beginning of the season to ensure revenues
  • Improve snow quality during the season
  • Maintain snow coverage in sectors that are critical due to their orientation or topography
  • Ensure skiers return at the beginning and the end of the season
  • Guaranty the quality of sporting events
  • Extend the season beyond the limits imposed by natural snow coverage;
  • Satisfy customers' increasing demand
