TechnoAlpin Snow Hero 2026 – Here are the winners of the photo competition

The winners of the TechnoAlpin Snow Hero 2026 competition have been announced! Snowmakers from ski resorts around the world shared their standout TechnoAlpin snowmaking moments with the community through striking photos.

The large number of entries highlights the passion and dedication that go into achieving perfect slope condition. From sweeping landscape shots to striking snowmaking scenes, each photo offers a unique glimpse into the work carried out across ski areas.

An expert panel judged the entries based on creativity, innovation, aesthetics, and overall content, selecting three outstanding winners for this year’s competition.

Our Snow Hero 2026 winning photos:

  1. Jan Krikava, Saas Fee - Switzerland
  2. Daniel Vaněček, Skiareál Klinovec – Czech Republic
  3. Charisma Thiele, Mt. Hutt - New Zealand

The winners can enjoy fantastic prizes: 1st place – an exclusive TechnoAlpin‑package containing a hoodie, ski goggles, and a backpack. Second place gets a TechnoAlpin T-shirt and a pair of ski goggles, while third place will be awarded a TechnoAlpin headband and a pair of ski socks.

A big thank you to everyone who contributed!
