What we do

At EcoSki, we redefine ski resort management through our innovative
predictive snow depth measurement service. By precisely determining snow levels on the slopes, ski resorts can seamlessly adjust snow grooming, production, and distribution. This intuitive approach enhances productivity, conserves valuable resources, and fosters environmental sustainability.

Is this you?

  • Overproduce artificial snow, incurring unnecessary costs?
  • Struggle to quickly identify areas lacking sufficient snow?
  • Face challenges pinpointing valuable snow reserves?

How We Solve Your Challenges

EcoSki revolutionizes snow management using state-of-the-art satellite radar technology. Our advanced systems deliver snow depth calculations up to 2mm across the entire ski resort within minutes. The result? Optimal slope management, increased efficiency, reduced costs, and heightened skier satisfaction. By partnering with EcoSki, ski resorts can save up to 20% on total operating costs, gaining a competitive edge.

Save up to 20% of your operating costs

EcoSki allows you to more effectively manage snow, saving money across areas in relation to snow production, distribution, and grooming.

Maximising slope quality

EcoSki enables better and more effective implementations of snow and recognises areas that can be improved.

Optimized planning of snowmaking

EcoSki’s 2mm accuracy in the measurement of snow depth allows for greater knowledge of the level of artificial snow required, resulting in more efficient snow preparation.

Extend ski seasons

With EcoSki, optimise existing snow resources in addition to producing new ones as efficiently as possible, allowing for maximised ski season duration.

Award-winning snow conservation technology

Powered by Skibro, a market leader in Alpine technology development

Slope Analysis In The Satellites

EcoSki leverages radar satellites to measure snow depth accurately, subtracting coordinates of underlying terrain. This process, combined with satellite images and existing GNSS data, provides comprehensive insights into the ski resort landscape.

Saves time

Measure the entire ski resort’s snow depth in minutes, compared to hours with traditional or hardware methods

Effective slope preparation

Accurate measurement maximizes the utility of available snow and efficiently prepares new artificial snow

Extremely reliable

EcoSki’s software applications ensure reliability in extreme weather conditions, unlike traditional hardware

Quick installation

Implement EcoSki seamlessly with software applications, reducing installation time effectively to zero

Slope Analysis In Applications

EcoSki integrates applications to collect crowd-sourced data, in order to provide an additional data point, which further enables EcoSki to produce hyper-accurate snow depth measurements.

Slopes Analysis In The Office

Visually see the snow depth situation in the entirety of your resort right away

At EcoSki, our sophisticated software empowers ski resorts to view precise snow depths of individual slopes and the entire resort from any location, whether it’s the office or the comfort of your home. This comprehensive accessibility ensures that all ski resort teams, including snowmaking, operations management, grooming, operators, and ski patrol, share the same information base. This seamless collaboration optimizes communication for superior snow management, allowing focused planning and execution. EcoSki’s snow depth data facilitates efficient snow production and slope preparation by easily identifying areas with low snow levels for timely intervention.

High-precision measurement

Combining satellite and app data for measurements as precise as 2mm

Increased reliability

Multiple data source points significantly reduce the risk of false readings

Full coverage

Satellite view provides a holistic overview of the resort, identifying areas with little or abundant snow instantly

Ski Slope Management

Rising temperatures are leading to ski resorts having less snowfall and more melting of snow, resulting in worse snowpack amongst resorts, which leads to less snow for skiers to ski on.

Ski resorts are becoming more reliant on the production of artificial snow to compensate for increasingly unpredictable and varied levels of snow cover. This is due to the likes of climate change, where snowfall is becoming increasingly rare.

Providing the correct amount of artificial snow has proven to be a challenge for ski resorts, resulting in excessive snow production due to inaccurate snow depth measurement services that ski resorts previously relied on.

These old snow depth measurement methods lead to wasted money, time and resources, in addition to further harming the environment.

Is there a better solution?

EcoSki took on this challenge through developing snow depth measurement technology to accurately measure snow, in aid of the production and preparation of ski slopes. This technology is based on satellite and application data.

Researchers in EcoSki have researched in areas of sea route and glacier erosion changes for over 20 years, which has enabled EcoSki to gain an in-depth understanding of snow depth change and measurement in recent years. Numerous testing across various alpine resorts has validated our research and provided further insight into snow depth measurement, which has enabled our services to provide optimum levels of accuracy.

Becoming More Eco-friendly

EcoSki will significantly contribute towards a more sustainable and resource-conserving operation, which will enable your ski resort to be more eco-friendly whilst simultaneously reducing costs

EcoSki’s hyper-accurate daily analysis of snow depth in real-time enables you to utilise snowmaking, snow distribution, as well as grooming in a focused manner. This is through data-based and demand-oriented planning which promotes a reduction of fuel, energy and water by up to 40 percent. This more efficient way of operating allows for greater conservation of resources, whilst simultaneously reducing your ski resort’s total
operating costs.

Nature is also better protected in the form of less land and terrain damage. This is through operators knowing the precise level of snow depth across the entirety of the resort, meaning they can better cater towards areas with less snow, which will then better preserve nature and habitats due to being less exposed.

Save costs by conserving resources

Resources and energy are becoming scarcer and more expensive. This means the value of these resources is rising, increasing the need to become more efficient in practising resource conservation to remain competitive. Ecoski is here to support you by optimising your snow management to become more efficient and effective.

Becoming More Eco-friendly

How productive snow management works

As water and energy costs continue to escalate and raw material prices soar, ski areas face mounting challenges that demand strategic, data-driven solutions. Furthermore, societal shifts such as digital transformations underscore the need for leveraging digital tools. EcoSki empowers you to pinpoint adaptable elements and variables within your ski area, enabling you to effectively address them.
