TechnoAlpin & FIS Extend Partnership

TechnoAlpin has been an official FIS Product Partner since 2016. Many synergies between the parties were enjoyed during the three years of working together. 

The leadership of TechnoAlpin in snowmaking technology and the wide-ranging expertise of FIS in slope preparation have created several new ideas. FIS Alpine race directors Markus Waldner and Emmanuel Couder visited the TechnoAlpin base in Bolzano (ITA) in September to share experiences and exchange notes. They also took the occasion to shake on the extension of the partnership for a further three years. 

The meeting focused on the further optimisation of the snow conditions on the courses for the races. “In our experience, dry snow is firmer and easier to groom than wet snow. The slopes can be prepared for public use more easily after the races and we save valuable water resources. We have found TechnoAlpin to be on exactly the same wavelength. We value its many years of experience worldwide and so TechnoAlpin is a key point of contact when it comes to optimising slope quality,” said Emmanuel Couder.

It was naturally also the perfect opportunity to visit TechnoAlpin’s new production building in Bolzano and to take a closer look at the new TR10 fan gun. “The feedback from the race directors on our new products and ideas is extremely important for us. There is probably nobody else who comes into such direct contact with our products in so many ski resorts worldwide. So we are delighted that the partnership has been extended and that the constructive input will continue,” said TechnoAlpin export manager Benjamin Pötz, explaining the significance of the visit.
