Sierra Nevada is reinforced with 33 latest-generation snow cannons

Published: Oct 1, 2019
Share

The Sierra Nevada ski resort has just installed 33 state-of-the-art snow cannons , specifically the TR10 and TL6 models. They have been installed on the blue slope El Río , located in the area of the Monachil River that connects the Borreguiles and Pradollano area. In addition, it is a night ski slope !

The investment is around 700,000 euros . These new cannons will be all fixed except 2 that will be mobile. They will generate the same production as the old snow cannons although in half the time; So the energy savings will be significant and will help pay off the investment.

The old snow cannons will be relocated to the top of the ski area of the resort and others will no longer be used because of their age. On the other hand, the Mirlo Blanco park will have a fixed cannon available .

Finally, the department of Snow Produced has completed this summer the installation of a 'by-pass' that connects the 2 rafts that provide water to the artificial snow system. Thus, simultaneously the two rafts can feed the cannons both by gravity and by pressure. The main objective is to produce much more snow in the cold windows of this ski season.

Sierra Nevada currently has 265 snow cannons .
