Throughout the summer of 2025, we have upgraded and invested further in our snowmaking facility at Tiur. These are large investments that have been made, but very important. We are upgrading the snowmaking system and expanding it to improve capacity, ensure better snow throughout the season and reduce our energy consumption by replacing old with new and better equipment.
The following investments have been made:
-
New upgraded water intake with new pipe and new power cables/fiber (1,2 million)
-
16 new automatic lances (3,5 million)
-
1,2km of electricity, fiber and signal cable (1 million)
-
New energy-efficient compressor (1,2 million)
