During the course of the last 20 years, TechnoAlpin’s list of references has gradually increased. Today, the full-range supplier of snow-making systems counts 936 customers in 41 countries throughout the world from Canada through Serbia to Mongolia. The headquarters of the company Sciovie Ortisei Srl, which operates two ski-lifts in the famous Gardena Valley, are based near those of TechnoAlpin in Bolzano.

Snow King Mountain in Jackson Hole Wyoming, a classic Cowboy town in the Western US is host to several National ski teams preparing for the winter Olympic Games in Vancouver Canada. US women’s technical team, French men and women’s technical team, Finland’s men and women technical team will all enjoy the great TechnoAlpin snow at Snow King Mountain. A final International test race will be held before the athletes are traveling to Vancouver.

Snow King Mountain is celebrating its 70th anniversary with a fully automatic snowmaking system delivered by TechnoAlpin last fall. The system has several M18A tower mounted and mobile fan guns as well as the powerful A30 Lances.

The Ladies World Cup races in Hauser Kaibling were originally scheduled for January 9 and 10. However, the athletes were already called to the start on January 8 when the cancelled Val D’Isere downhill race was rescheduled. Speed queen, Lindsey Vonn, seized the opportunity and with her third straight victory, emphasized her ranking as the number one favorite in the Olympic speed races.

The three races did not only represent a challenge for the athletes. It was essential that the World Cup slope also remained in top form throughout the 3-day event. At an early stage, the slopes offered optimum conditions. This was little wonder, as TechnoAlpin’s fully reconditioned and upgraded snow-making system had been ready for use by system and slope manager Herbert Landl and his team since the start of the 2009/10 winter season. The result was that Hauser Kaibling, with its 37 kilometers of slopes and eleven cable cars and lifts, was able to don its white winter coat even earlier, with even better quality and less energy and water consumption than ever before.

As every year, the ADAC SkiGuide has once again analyzed and evaluated the various types Alpine regions where winter sports are practiced. And this time round, the greatly sought-after title of ‘Most improved resort of the year’ has been awarded to the Hochzeiger ski resort in Pitztal, Tyrol. TechnoAlpin congratulates their client on this excellent result!
