The Snowfactory in Klingenthal
To guarantee that the Ski Jumping World Cup in Klingenthal (Germany) always runs smoothly, the organizers use SnowFactory units provided by the German Ski Association (DSV). The machines produce roughly 3,000 m³ of snow for the competition held in the Vogtland Arena. For Walter Vogel of the DSV, the SnowFactory was the salvation of the Ski Jumping World Cup in 2015/2016: “Without the SnowFactory, the World Cup in Klingenthal would not have taken place. We are very happy with the decision to purchase these machines; they work perfectly and reliably. There is always a certain amount of tension or uncertainty whenever temperatures play up, particularly at events. The SnowFactory simply gives the organizers the reliability they need.”
