Keep snow protected during summer to prolong the summerski season
Norwegian Snow Consulting offers specialist services in snow depo management, seasonal snow storage, and strategies for extending early-season and summer skiing. By applying proven protection and preparation methods, we help resorts preserve large volumes of snow through the summer, enabling an earlier opening of slopes—often by as much as six weeks. Our expertise has contributed to the world’s first year-round snow hotel, demonstrating how controlled snow storage can support new business opportunities and extend seasonal operations.
We work with a combination of textile covers, insulation techniques, and operational routines to shield snow from sun, wind, rain, and increasing temperature variations. These methods are also widely used on glaciers to slow down melting and protect key areas from climate impact. Whether the goal is to maintain a summer ski product, secure early-season skiing, or create robust long-term snow reserves, our solutions are tailored to each resort’s climate, terrain, and strategic ambitions.
