On 30 September, SIEPPUR hosted Part 1 of a Snow-How Webinar Series. The Webinar on 30 September focused on Snow Storage, also called snow farming. It entails preserving a quantity of snow, natural or man-made, available at a ski center towards the end of the winter season over the warm summer months. To minimize melting during the summer, the snow that is stored must be covered for thermal insulation purposes.
The second webinar will provide practical knowledge about Snow Production and Snow Transport.
The capability to produce snow is a requirement for any licensed IBU biathlon venue today and the aim is to turn as much water as possible into good quality snow while consuming the least amount of energy possible.
Sustainable snow transportation practices should minimize the cost, resource use and logistical efforts required, while reducing and/or limiting the climate impact of the machinery and equipment used through minimization of CO2 emissions.
Snow Production and Transport: Monday, 28 October 2024, 14:00 – 15:30 CET
