FIS and TechnoAlpin AG, the global market leader in snow-making technology based in Bolzano (ITA), announced a partnership under which TechnoAlpin will serve as a FIS Product Partner for the 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons and as an official supplier of the FIS Bring Children to the Snow Campaign for the 2016/17 season.

As an official FIS Product Partner in the field of snow making machines (non-exclusive), TechnoAlpin will work closely with FIS, and particularly the National Ski Associations, and their  Organisers and ski resorts directly.

The partnership will result in a close cooperation and advice in the area of snow making under the consideration of environmental aspects, through the provision of TechnoAlpin snow-making units to help deal with short-term snow shortage.

FIS President Gian Franco Kasper said: ”TechnoAlpin is a welcome partner for our Organisers to help them at the last moment if the weather has not permitted sufficient snow cover. This may mean the difference between organising or cancelling an event.”
