Oslo’s indoor snow at SNØ

Just a fifteen-minute drive from Oslo city center, a large sports facility, operational since 2020, features artificial snowmaking in a refrigerated indoor environment kept at a temperature of -2/-4 degrees C.

The futuristic SNØ ski dome, which in the pre-winter period is primarily used for training by ski clubs and competitive teams, offers 500 meters of alpine skiing slopes, a well-equipped snow park, and a Nordic skiing trail. The latter is 1.5 km long, with an average width of five meters, and offers climbs and descents along panoramic corridors suspended twenty meters above the alpine ski slopes.

On this technical and varied course, the Alpina Superclass 1.2L twin-track snowmobile equipped with the F-250 trail grooming system demonstrates exceptional maneuverability and top-notch technical capabilities, preparing both classic and skating-style trails with exceptional quality. Thanks to the ideal weight of the vehicle, snow processing is limited to the surface layers without impacting the stability of deeper layers, which would require more time to reconsolidate. Furthermore, compared to larger snow groomers, the Superclass’s extremely low emissions, both in terms of polluting gases and heat transferred to the environment, minimize the volume of air exchange required, thus also reducing the facility’s refrigeration system’s energy consumption.

Extremely low operating costs and top-notch reliability make the Superclass the ideal vehicle for ensuring continuity of service and trail quality. These are qualities well-known in the more widespread field of natural trails, where the Superclass has long been a must-have.
