Interviewpartner: Wim Hubrechtsen -CEO SnowWorld Group
"The training in the ski hall has been specially tailored to our requirements. In a ski hall, some aspects have to be looked at differently compared to a ski resort in the mountains. PRO ACADEMY has given us valuable advice on how we can optimize our technical snowmaking, taking into account the specific conditions in an enclosed space.
This training was a significant step on the path to more cost-efficient work procedures." -Wim Hubrechtsen -CEO SnowWorld Group
"PRO ACADEMY training increases the sense of responsibility of operators. They have been trained not only in the machine technology, but also in the correct way to handle snow as a resource. But in the end – and this is the most important thing – the operators learned how to groom the slopes perfectly. This means we can offer our guests the best experience they can imagine!"
-Wim Hubrechtsen -CEO SnowWorld Group

In May, four PRO ACADEMY trainers spent four days at the renowned SnowWorld ski hall in Landgraaf. While there, they trained not only 20 of SnowWorld's operators, but also operators from other locations. The training included practical operator training courses as well as technical training courses for daily maintenance of the machines. The training was organized to be extremely practical and was perfectly tailored to the requirements of the ski hall. In individual operator training courses, experienced PRO ACADEMY trainers taught the operators special skills for working in a way that is efficient and conserves resources. The goal was to achieve cost savings through more efficient methods of working with the PistenBully while producing the best possible slope quality for the ski hall guests.
The secret to ideal slopes
An important component of the training was how to analyze and optimize an existing slope. Using advanced technologies such as density and temperature measurement, the snow profile was detected and the slope was analyzed down to the smallest detail. Snow analysis is the key to finding out which types of snow are on the slope and how they can best be processed.
Small area, big challenge for operating technique
In a snow park ski hall, the space is much more limited than in an expansive ski resort; that is why precise operating technique is of major importance. The goal of the training was to ensure that the park remains in the best possible condition for as long as possible and offers the guests an unforgettable experience. To enable the park to be groomed efficiently, special emphasis was placed on designing a park that is easy to maintain.
SNOW WORLD ski hall: an in-demand training site for professional skiers
SnowWorld Landgraaf is renowned as a popular training site for a wide variety of the world's best ski racers.
