The Snowkeeper SK 12 snow cooling unit is used in snow regions as a means of maintaining the snow for longer. Cooling coils anchored in the ground cool the snow and keep it below thawing temperature. The unit can be conveniently transported using a snow groomer and is designed for harsh environmental conditions. When developing the Snowkeeper SK 12, FrigorTec consulted with the Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (Davos, Switzerland) on snow-related matters.

Fields of application

• Maintaining snow allows for less-frequent snowmaking on artificial snow areas
• Greater snow reliability in thaw regions increases cost effectiveness and protects the environment
• By cooling ski jumps, they can even be used at thawing temperatures
• Less-frequent snowmaking on artificial snow areas, therefore resulting in water savings
• Snow reliability in thaw regions leading to increased cost effectiveness and greater environmental protection
• Easy to transport with a snow groomer
• Designed for harsh ambient conditions
• Ideal for cooling ski jumps too
• Developed in collaboration with the Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (Davos, Switzerland)
