How to attract guests to the ski resort?

Ski resorts offer their guests different activities in winter such as ice fishing, ice driving,  snow shoeing, sledding, sleigh rides, hot bath, spa and so on. All these activities are entertaining, engaging and interesting for the guests. However, Challenging and sporty activities are not only meant for experienced skiers, but also for people who are interested in any outdoor winter activities and most of the people traveling during winter enjoy outdoor activities during winter.

For families with children, ski resorts offer simple snow games or snow play that engage children for a while, but children may also feel excited by skiing and sledging. Skiing is known as an activity which is not done by beginners or inexperienced people. Nevertheless, nowadays many safety measures are being considered before setting any activities, so most of the challenging activities are both exciting and safe. We have designed and manufactured our Boardie T- bar ski lifts, considering different safety parameters.

A child can be safely taken uphill using our ski lift along with an adult. Therefore, it is not just the winter sports enthusiasts who like skiing and challenging winter rides, but anyone who is being supported and  assured safety loves to experience the thrilling ski rides.

Ski rides and racing have increased since a couple of years and many people are attracted towards skiing activities.

What are the different types of ski slopes?

Skiing can be performed in different terrains and the preference of the terrain varies from person to person. Milder or less steeper slopes are less challenging and preferred by beginners, while steeper slopes are preferred by expert skiers / skiing enthusiasts who enjoy adventures and challenges. Most people prefer powder snow which is safer and easier to ride through, while adventure lovers may prefer crusty form of snow which is more slippery and dangerous.

Therefore, the steeper and less powdery the terrain, it's more difficult for skiing.

In Europe, the slopes are classified and color coded with respect to the steepness of the slope:

Easy and mild slope is color coded as Green which can be used by beginners and children.
