One of the new features of this year is the Milanese presentation of the season, which took place at the Sporting Milan of Basiglio, for the occasion covered with 15 cm of fresh snow, not really usual in the autumn of the capital Lombard. All this was possible thanks to the "Snow4Ever" technology of DemacLenko, one of the two largest manufacturers of programmed snowmaking systems in the world. And it was an action that created the perfect connection with the large snowfalls that occurred in the Dolomites over the 1,500 m altitude during the night of November 3rd.
Invested over 100 million euros in quality. In his press conference, Dolomiti Superski presented all the novelties of the new ski season, which will begin next November 30th: 9 new or modernized ski lifts, numerous snowmaking systems upgraded to succeed to produce more snow in less time and some new or adapted slopes for the needs of the over 3 million skiers who ski the slopes of the Dolomites every winter. "Also this year we have invested over 100 million euros to guarantee and maintain a high level of quality, which is one of the priority business objectives of Dolomiti Superski" explains Sandro Lazzari, president of the ski carousel, highlighting its fundamental importance for the tourist chain in the alpine valleys. "The ski industry is the one that for decades has guaranteed mountain people well-being and work at home, avoiding the depopulation of mountain areas", continues Lazzari, who also underlined the importance of the system during his speech. installations of the Dolomites as a sustainable alternative to motorized mobility and praises the partnership with the Cortina Foundation 2021 in view of the Alpine Skiing World Championships for the upcoming 2020/2021 season.
Planned snowmaking. The ability to guarantee skiable conditions right from the opening of the season and also the possibility of making the Sellaronda opening date one of the most popular ski tours in the world today, with certainty, is certainly one of the business card of Dolomiti Superski that leave their mark.
Sandro Lazzari in his speech underlined the two challenges of these years related to artificial snow: 1) shorten production times to make the most of the cold days that often accompany the last days of November or the days before a big event. Upgrading systems with pipes or pumps of low capacity often means building them from scratch, it means having new artificial basins for storing large capacities and the ability to control many hygrothermal parameters in limited time.2) optimize resources, producing the snow in the best possible conditions in terms of energy and logistics, in order to guarantee the skiability of large areas with high quality artificial snow, produced in a short time and with limited consumption. The keyword is to provide services of the highest level such as those to which the Dolomiti Superski has accustomed us in recent years, in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Dolomiti UNESCO, il bilancio di Banca d'Italia: +9% di pernottamenti senza consumare più territorio
Il paper di Banca d'Italia analizza gli effetti sui flussi turistici e sull'ambiente nei 4 anni successivi all'iscrizione delle Dolomiti nella lista dei Patrimoni Mondiali dell'Umanità, avvenuta nel 2009. A fronte di un incremento delle presenze, il numero di strutture turistiche non è cresciuto e quello di posti letto si è ridotto. Ai maggiori flussi turistici non si è associato né un aumento del consumo di suolo né una maggiore produzione di rifiuti, dimostrando il potenziale del riconoscimento UNESCO nel generare benefici economici locali senza compromettere la qualità ambientale, a condizione che siano in atto un efficace coordinamento istituzionale e solide garanzie normative.
