The secret of the Ski Trac's all climate snow lies in its rotating deck, which continuously passes through a cold room or Snow Chamber covering 40% of the slope, and which contains temperatures of -10 C to -15 C. In this chamber, compressed air and water snow guns manufacture snow of an ideal texture for skiing, with a snow cover of 200mm. The 250 meters diameter electro-magnetically supported ski deck is so inclined as to provide a slope descending from a height of 13 stories top to bottom. It rotates at speeds up to 25 kph providing an equivalent ski run of 650 meters.
In one hour of skiing into the on-coming snow, the skier has travelled 20 kilometers over the snow, making this the world’s longest ski run. When reaching the bottom, the skier simply remains stationary at the outer edge of the slope and is taken back to the top. The Ski Trac has a capacity of 1200 skiers at any one time, or 6.5 million ski hours per year.
