Snow Secure boasts cutting-edge snow storage that will be useful to winter sports venues. The company focuses on preserving artificially generated snow from one season to the next by using specialized insulation covers without relying on chemical agents.
Snow Secure's snow storage process involves creating snow during ideal cold periods, sheltering it through the warmer months, and deploying it to establish foundational skiing surfaces ahead of favorable natural weather conditions. This methodology is gaining adoption at several North American resorts, with reported results indicating better-than-anticipated snow preservation rates. The brand initially anticipated losing 25 to 30% of the stored snow, but in reality, only 20% was lost.
Snow Secure's snow storage is boasted as cost-effective in relation to the alternative, with a typical pilot costing approximately $160,000. Snow Secure is currently in use at Tyrol Basin (Wisconsin) and will be deployed at Ski Apache (New Mexico) and Soldier Hollow (Utah).
