Received: 17 August 2020; Accepted: 15 December 2020; Published: 18 December 2020 Abstract: Climate change affects snowpack properties indirectly through the greater need for artificial snow production for ski centers. The seasonal snowpacks at five ski centers in Central Slovakia were examined over the course of three winter seasons to identify and compare the seasonal development and inter-seasonal and spatial variability of depth average snow density of ski piste snow and uncompacted natural snow. The spatial variability in the ski piste snow density was analyzed in relation to the snow depth and snow lances at the Košútka ski center using GIS. A special snow tube for high-density snowpack sampling was developed (named the MM snow tube) and tested against the commonly used VS-43 snow tube. Measurements showed that the MM snow tube was constructed appropriately and had comparable precision. Significant differences in mean snow density were identified for the studied snow types.

  • Optimal Preparation of Alpine Ski Runs
    OPTIMAL PREPARATION OF ALPINE SKI RUNS Mathieu Fauve*, Hansueli Rhyner, Martin Schneebeli, Walter Ammann WSL Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF, CH-7260 Davos, Switzerland ABSTRACT: The demands on the quality of ski runs have grown with the development of sports equipment. A skiing run must nowadays provide perfect grip, have a certain strength and be durable in order to satisfy the users. The preparation of ski runs involves many snow transformations such as recrystallization, vapor transport, and sintering. These processes strongly depend on the weather conditions that can obviously not be influenced. Therefore, understanding the influences of the various processes involved in grooming is crucial to choose the optimal time and procedure to prepare the runs. Our aim is to optimize the preparation of skiing runs from a technical, economical and ecological point of view. We developed a framework in which the physical and mechanical processes of snow, the weather forecast and type of grooming was taken into account. The influence of snow properties on grooming practice for both, natural and machine-made snow was considered. We propose the best suited grooming method and preparation time for both dry and wet snow in order to obtain high quality and durable runs. Regarding its structural and mechanical properties, machine-made snow constitutes a good snowpack and requires less processing than natural snow for its hardening. By following the proposed scheme the best conditions possible for all skier and riders can be created. Keywords: ski run, snow grooming, weather, snow properties, snow sintering, machine-made snow 1.
