The impact of climate change on ski season length and snowmaking requirements in Tyrol, Austria [PDF]
Climate Research, 2010 In this paper, the development and validation of a ski season simulation model (SkiSim 2.0) is described and results of the climate change assessment for 3 ski areas in Tyrol, Austria, are presented. The results of the validation process suggest that SkiSim 2.0 is an appropriate tool to simulate ski season lengths and snowmaking requirements at ...

Treatment and disposal of secondary sewage effluent through snowmaking
2010When secondary sewage effluent is converted to snow, the nutrients and residual organics become concentrated in the early meltwater discharge through melt-freeze processes within the snow-pack. The early season melt comes off relatively slowly. Providing the soil can absorb the early melt, the bulk of the nutrients will be removed even if later season ...

Automating A Home Snowmaking System Using An AVR Microcontroller
2018Since its invention in the 1950s, snowmaking has been vitally important to the ski industry, lengthening season length, and bringing skiing and snowboarding to areas where it would not previously have been possible. In the past decade and a half, snowmaking system automation has become widespread due to its potential for increased efficiency and ...

First feedback on safety and pathology of high-altitude dams for snowmaking
2006In winter sports resorts, the construction of dams to provide water storage for the snowmaking have significantly increased over the last decade. These high-altitude dams ranging from 1,300 meters to 2,500 meters, about 10 m high, are mostly waterproofed with a Geomembrane Sealing System (GSS) over the upstream face of the embankment and the whole ...
