Summer is coming, the ice sheets of geotextiles as Presena

In these days, because of the good time, work resumed in full swing and will continue throughout the week. This action, made possible through a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the company Carousel spa and the Autonomous Province of Trent, which finances 33% of the drawing sheets and the subsequent production of artificial snow, also relies on the collaboration of University of Trento, which monitors the phenomenon that in recent years has brought significant results.

The technique of geotextile fabrics, imported from Austria, was adopted on Presena in 2001. "But then sheets were welded using a different technique and covered only part of the glacier that runs under the two lifts. - Hyacinth explains Delpero, president of the company Carousel-E 'in 2008 we started using geotextile sheets: strips large sheets of 5 meters and 70 meters long, which are spread with the help of snowmobiles and heat sealed. "

This summer will be covered with a very wide area of ​​the glacier, amounting to 100,000 square feet compared to 90,000 the year scoro, which will affect the ski area and the part that supports the plant, particularly sensitive because the iron supports may overheat, leading to a rapid melting of snow. The sheets are removed, as always, in September, before the new winter season. The underlying layer of snow has usually a thickness of 1.5 / 2 meters, just enough to provide the basis for a new ski season. This will occur if you have a nice snowfall in October is already the Presena ready to kick off a new season of skiing.

gondola and chairlift Paradise Paradise Presena reopen on Saturday, June 23 and will remain open throughout the summer for those who want to visit the multimedia gallery of the First World War, the walkways or take the path of flowers, or simply to reach the mountain huts and sunbathing. Trekking enthusiasts will also find other facilities open during the summer: the gondola Pontedilegno-Tonale (June 30-September 2), chairlifts Valbione (June 16-September 9), Horn of Aola (23/24 June and 30 June to September 2) and Roccolo Ventura (June 30-July 1 and July 7 to August 26 and half of September).
