Snowmaking system planning with SnowPlan

SnowPlan is a computer programme which simulates the effects of a planned snowmaking system on the snow cover of trails and on the business figures of the ski area.

On the basis of weather records of the respective area, the snowmaking system design and several other important parameters, SnowPlan calculates the daily snow cover for every regarded trail and especially takes into account the snowmelt. This serves as a base for the calculation of operational costs, possible skier numbers and revenues. SnowPlan was developed in cooperation with the SLF - Swiss Institute for Snow and Avalance Research, Davos, and Techno Alpin - the world market leader in the the snowmaking business.
