ARENA Piste Management Says ‘Let's Talk About The Potential Of Your Slopes!’

ARENA PistenManagement is one of the technological pioneers in the field of slope and snow management. With its core products, the Salzburg company creates the necessary conditions to master existing and future challenges in the industry. ARENA will be presenting its products at the Interalpin and will be available for personal initial consultations.

In a finely tuned interaction of innovative technology, data analysis and decades of practical experience, ARENA PistenManagement offers a far-sighted all-round service that accompanies ski areas in the long term on a technological, operational and strategic level. With the use of various instruments, it is possible to use resources and the existing infrastructure even more efficiently, to improve the quality of the slopes and to ensure ski operations even in unfavorable climatic conditions. What may sound abstract at first glance appears logical and consistent on closer inspection and in view of the current price and climate crises. Therefore, here is a brief overview of the core products of ARENA PistenManagement:

ARENA slope energy

The late onset of winter and the mild climate in spring are putting increasing pressure on Austria's pistes. So far, these challenges have been met primarily with improved technical devices. With ARENA Pisten-Energie, the company has now developed an excellence system dedicated to optimizing the existing infrastructure. In a consulting and service package, existing measurement data such as resource consumption and snow depth measurements are systematically evaluated and an ideal strategy for the ski area is derived from this. With a clearly defined procedure, data-based decisions and efficient internal communication, the challenges of the future can be managed through targeted changes in the process flows.

ARENA PistenEnergie develops an individual master plan for ski areas. This master plan specifies the target snow depths, taking into account the various sections of the slope, as well as the use of water. These variables have a significant influence on the energy consumption and thus the costs. The MasterPlan lays the foundation for digital and sustainable slope management. With various scenarios, up to 20% of the use of resources can be saved. At the same time, internal processes and operating knowledge are summarized uniformly and made accessible to all employees.

With this clearly defined strategy, resources are used most efficiently and employee communication is improved at the same time.

Advantages of ARENA PistenEnergie

even more efficient use of the existing infrastructure
best slope quality in difficult weather conditions
Reduce variable costs by up to 20%
no additional investments
faster return on investment
low workload for ski resorts
accumulated operational knowledge

ARENA SmartSnow

ARENA SmartSnow takes snow depth measurement to a new level! The latest antenna technology measures with high precision and is very stable, which enables precise snow depth measurements, but also the orientation of snow groomers in poor visibility.

The measurement results can be displayed clearly and in detail in the virtual control center - the ARENA PistenManager - or directly in the snow groomer using _D visualization. Deficits and surpluses of snow can thus be recognized and compensated for. An overview of the snow conditions on the slopes is guaranteed at all times.

Inspired by the experience of long-time snow groomer drivers, ARENA SmartSnow is perfectly tailored to their needs and can be used directly in the vehicle as an orientation aid due to the attention to detail. This not only increases the efficiency of the snow groomers, but at the same time employee satisfaction and, last but not least, their safety on the slopes.

Benefits of ARENA SmartSnow:

Efficient use of resources through real-time monitoring
Slope optimization possible in the entire ski area under all conditions
more strategic planning security
user-friendly interface
Possible combinations with other systems

ARENA slope manager

With the ARENA PistenManager, an innovative control center was developed parallel to SmartSnow, in which the measured data can be viewed and analyzed in real time. The master plan is displayed in the ARENA PistenManager. Natural snow heights can also be displayed in this and at the same time it represents the interface to the snow guidance system. This means that all measured data and individually defined parameters can be called up in a user-friendly manner in this control center.

This guarantees a perfect overview of the current condition of the slopes at all times and thus of the respective savings potential of important resources. In addition, the ARENA PistenManager can also be flexibly combined with snow depth measuring systems from other manufacturers.

ARENA Rescue

With ARENA Rescue, rescue operations in the ski area are coordinated and documented in real time. The efficient interaction of the rescue services accelerates the care of accident victims and improves safety and quality on the slopes. With automated logging processes and the time and location of all rescue measures taken, you also gain maximum legal certainty and cost-effectiveness.

Last but not least, this serves to provide legal protection for the emergency services and leads to a higher billing rate for operations performed. Digital recording also makes it possible to identify and defuse accident hotspots, making the ski area safer and safer in the long term.

ARENA Rescue saves important time in piste rescue and improves the safety and quality of the slopes. The optimal coordination of the rescue services, a complete documentation as well as the increased economic efficiency and legal certainty make ARENA Rescue the instrument of choice for an efficient and modern piste rescue.

It is not for nothing that the system has been used extensively and successfully by the Vorarlberg Mountain Rescue Service since 2016.
