The Innovation of Skiing on Alternative Surfaces: The Future of Alpine Skiing

In recent years, the world of alpine skiing has experienced a monumental shift: the adoption of new surfaces and materials for training and fun that no longer solely depend on weather conditions. This change is driven by innovations like those of Neveplast, opening up new opportunities for skiers around the world.

The Solution for the Future: Unlimited Training The recent indoor slope coverage at Snø in Norway and Hammarbybacken in Sweden, as reported by the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter, showcases how the industry is seeking solutions to adapt to climate change and meet the growing demand for continuous and accessible training in every season. With a focus on sustainability and efficiency, Neveplast is at the forefront of introducing materials that perfectly emulate natural snow, offering an authentic skiing experience for both professionals and beginners.

According to Dagens Nyheter, the adoption of alternative surfaces like those proposed by Neveplast at Hammarbybacken allows athletes to stay in shape and refine their skills without interruptions—an ideal condition for young ski prospects.

Innovation Serving Skiers Neveplast’s new surfaces, made with high-quality materials and patented technology, not only replicate the smoothness of snow but also allow for safe and sustainable training. As highlighted in the Dagens Nyheter article, these innovative solutions have been adopted for both indoor and outdoor slopes, providing perfect conditions for disciplines such as slalom, carving, and even freestyle.

A New Standard for Indoor and Outdoor Slopes Neveplast is not only transforming outdoor slopes with innovative combinations of grass and plastic but is also partnering with cutting-edge indoor facilities like the Snø complex in Norway. The presence of artificial surfaces like those of Neveplast provides a viable alternative for summer training, reducing environmental impact and the use of valuable resources.

Industry Recognition These innovations have led Neveplast to be recognized as one of the leading players in the ski industry, attracting the attention of international press and prominent figures such as Jonas Bauer, recently nominated for the presidency of the Swedish Ski Association. As Dagens Nyheter emphasized, Bauer's candidacy reflects the importance of having leaders who understand the climatic challenges and are ready to support innovative solutions like those offered by Neveplast.

Toward a Sustainable and Accessible Future Neveplast’s goal is to make skiing a sport that is accessible and sustainable for everyone, reducing the environmental impact and ensuring surfaces that not only replicate natural snow but surpass its limitations. The new materials developed by Neveplast ensure skiers can train anywhere, without relying on weather conditions, contributing to promoting an ecological and responsible approach to skiing.
