Water resource management

• - Continuous monitoring of water consumption by the LIBERTY TECHNOALPIN automated system,
• - Innovative snowpack management tools (sonars, connected grooming plans, GPS).

The main objective of investing in the snowmaking network is to optimize air and water consumption:

• - Continuation of the snow gun modernization program to reduce consumption,
• - Snowmaking using the potential energy of high altitude water supplies.

Finally, by preparing the area as well as possible throughout the season, the STBMA ensures better maintenance of the snowpack and therefore a reduction in the need for water: :

• Wind barriers to store snow,
• Preparation and maintenance of slopes during the off-season ,
• Improvement of ski runs by drainage, earthworks, mowing, etc.
• Revagetation of the soil

The high altitude lake of Joux is a fine illustration of an eco-responsible ski area project, carried out in close collaboration with the municipality and its farmers. You can find all the details of this project on our site: Lake of Joux
