Ski slope connection for ski huts

Privat Slopestyle Park Slopetrax Gleitmatten

Plan B for the ski huts and ski slope operators.


The largest restaurants in a ski area are usually located near the mountain railway at the valley station or on arrival at the mountain station. However, the most beautiful and coolest huts are usually located on the ski piste or hidden away a little. At the beginning of the ski season, an extra piste with fresh snow or artificial snow is created from the ski piste to the ski hut - which should then last for the whole season. This has now become a dream come true for many hut owners.


As winters get warmer, this piste preparation is unfortunately melting away faster and faster, so that there is often no snow piste to the hut by Christmas or carnival. This is bad news for the ski hut, as skiers can no longer ski to the hut and instead choose a rest stop that they can reach on skis. A major loss of revenue is inevitable!


The early installation of the Slopetrax sliding mats from the ski piste to the ski hut and back to the ski piste is the plan B for a winter with little or no snow. If the snow melts away, skiers can continue to ski to their favourite ski hut and return to the piste without any problems.

Ebenalp, Lifttrax, Schlepplifte - Skitrax World

It would be so easy with the Lifttrax sliding mats. Many ski resorts with T-bar lifts below approx. 1000m have had to close their lifts due to a lack of snow. In most cases there is still enough snow to ski on the snow-covered sides of the lift, but the snow in the lift track has melted, so skiing has had to be stopped. It didn't have to be! Clever ski resorts have already covered the lift track with our Lifttrax SP skid mats before the first snowfall. First cover the ground with a fleece, then place the mats on top and fix them to the ground with pegs. This means that everything can be quickly dismantled again in spring and stored on pallets.
Ochsenkopf, Lifttrax, Monoski - Skitrax World

Straight from the cable car to the piste on Lifttrax sliding mats. The new cable car on the Ochsenkopf in the Fichtelgebirge (GER) will go into operation on 22.12.2023. The installation on the north side of the Ochsenkopf near the municipality of Bischofsgrün comprises 40 ten-passenger gondolas, which are also suitable for families with baby carriages, wheelchair users and monoskiers. The new cable car allows visitors to reach the 1024-metre-high mountain more comfortably, quickly and barrier-free. The gondolas have a transport capacity of around 2000 people per hour. Construction work on the cable car began in March 2023 to replace the old 32-year-old cable car. A particularly helpful attraction will be installed at the cable car exit. A wide track with the fast Lifttrax SP glide mats will be installed to enable monoskiers to glide quickly onto the piste with the skibob immediately after exiting. This allows monoskiers to glide optimally from the cable car exit to the piste.

Winter sports as an attractive year-round offer. Will there soon be alpine theme parks near major cities? It would be feasible in Zuerich, Hamburg, Vienna, Paris or Milan, but also in Singapore, Djakarta, Beijing, Los Angeles, Nairobi, Saigon and Santiago de Chile. When the snow is replaced by Skitrax sliding mats, nothing stands in the way of sliding, carving, gliding, lifting, drifting.

With speed to the lift entrance. For many years, Bergbahn Kitzbuehel (Austria) has been using Lifttrax sliding mats for the lift entry and exit of many chairlifts. Already at the end of October the snow season is opened at Pass Thurn (Resterhöhe). With hoarded "leftover snow" from the last season, an optimal training area can thus be made available to racers of the various performance levels at an early stage. Dozens of national teams train here until the first races of the season start.
