The ski resort operators in Europe have had to wait a long time for the cold this year. There was a brief cold spell in October but then the inversion in November was a real challenge for the snow-making systems all over Europe. Again this week the snow conditions have been anything but optimum. However, thanks to the strength of the TechnoAlpin snow guns in borderline temperatures, many ski resorts were finally able to commence snow-making operations.

Large-scale measures were taken in Mount St. Louis Moonstone back in the 1980s in a bid to increase the appeal of the Canadian ski resort. Hard core and rubble from the surrounding area were used to raise the hill and thus extend the slopes. The end result was a gain in height of 60 meters. To this day the managers of the family-run ski resort have not lost their innovative spirit. Every year they invest in improving the service.

The Research & Development Department at TechnoAlpin has been in existence since the company was first set up and now has 14 people. Every year over one million euro is invested in the development of new products. This has spawned a whole host of innovations but the overground valve block is worthy of particular attention. It has been in use for three years now. The overground valve block was launched in 2008 as an alternative to the underground valve block which had been used until then. It has since been installed in all the different designs of lances - those with central compressed air supply and those with autonomous compressor, automatic and manual versions alike. It can be used with any length of lance tube and lance head. The overground valve block has been exceedingly well received on the market. To date some 2,350 units have been installed in systems all over the world. Their success is hardly surprising - seeing as they offer a whole host of advantages over other valve blocks.

The newest additions to the TechnoAlpin range of snow guns made their debut in Europe last winter. And now the new T40 fan gun and the V3 snow lance have also had a chance to prove themselves in the southern hemisphere. The first samples of the two snow guns arrived in Australia and New Zealand in May and the conditions could not have been more different. While Australia was enjoying one of the earliest starts to the season ever, the ski resorts in New Zealand had to keep postponing their opening. Both countries did have one thing in common, however, in that snow was produced in borderline temperatures in each case. The T40 and the V3 passed the endurance test with flying colors.
