Aspen Snowmass Expands Snow Secure Technology to Idaho
What happened
Aspen Snowmass utilized Snow Secure insulating blankets to protect snow during the summer in Colorado. The pilot was considered a success, with roughly 85% of the stored snow volume remaining when the blankets were removed. The resort operations are now expanding this technology into Idaho.
Why it matters
The deployment of Snow Secure demonstrates a method for climate adaptation in ski resort operations, allowing for early season access to preserved snow. The technology reportedly saved snow that would otherwise require the manufacture of 3.5 million gallons of water.
