Dry ski mats

How and where to ski if there is no snow? Fortunately, there is a solution. This plastic material is a great substitute for natural snow cover. And although its definition sounds rather complicated: plasticised polyvinyl chloride, it is known to everyone by the more familiar name of PVC. Noteworthy are its thermoplastic properties, resistance to harmful external influences and mechanical strength. Not surprisingly, it is often used in sports activities. It is used to cover playing fields, as well as for the surface of ski slopes, ski jumps and ski lifts and cable car platforms. It will work well in areas prone to significant snow loss. Explore our range to find plastic mattings in different lengths and widths.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF DRY SKI SLOPE SURFACING?

Crowded ski slopes need to be properly prepared so that winter sports enthusiasts can use them. They bring together not only skiing enthusiasts, but also snowboarders and sledders, as well as practitioners of high-performance jumping and freestyle skiing. The need to ensure perfect conditions is obvious. The slope surface should be ski-able so that the skis glide smoothly over it. It works well for this purpose because, as an artificial material:

it does not require lubrication and, to achieve the right glide, you simply pour water over it,
it is easy to install – the mats are available in any size, so you can tailor their width and length to your individual preferences and the space requirements of the place where they are to be installed,
it works at any time of year – in winter as well as in summer. You can use it whatever the weather, without worrying about the lack of snowfall. It allows you to offer customers a slope that is open all year round, not just in winter,
maintenance-free – simply install it and enjoy the ride,
slows down the process of snow melt – in areas where plastic matting has been laid, the natural snow cover lasts longer,
During turns, the artificial surface stabilises the edges of the skis or board, making it easier to ski and snowboard, especially for beginners.

WHERE IS PLASTIC MATTING USED?

Ski resorts use plastic mattings, allowing them to operate regardless of the season and weather. As the climate warms up, so does the need for independence from weather conditions. The potential of this surface can therefore be exploited by:

Cable ways – upper station and lower station
Access roads, route connections
tracks underneath ski lifts or platter lifts
mini ski jumps,
under the merry-go-rounds
