Solution - SnowPod System
Installed at various points of the mountain, the SnowPod System captures water from the mountain's accessible, high-elevation springs and streams before it flows down. The system feeds water to nearby snowguns, where it is converted to snow and blasted onto the slopes. The snow eventually melts and continues its natural path to the lakes and rivers below
By eliminating the bottom-to-top pumping method, the ski resort will save between
30-50% in energy costs
