Neues in Neuseeland & Australien

[Michael Meier]

Das ist ein UNI-G geschwür der übelsten Art!

 

[miki]

Inzwischen sind die Sessel auch schon montiert (und die Schneekanonen werden langsam in Position gebracht!):

Und weil sie so schön aussieht, nochmals die Talstation (auf besonderen Wunsch aller DM Fans :lol: :lol: :lol: ):

 

[GMD]

@miki: Hatte auch Perisher in Erinnerung, war mir aber nicht mehr sicher. Die vielen Parkplätze haben mich irritiert, weil ich dachte, die Zahnradbahn soll die Strassen leeren.

@Raph: UNI-G Stationen habe ich als kantige Konstruktionen in Erinnerung.

 

[Raph]

alle KSB und EUB mit modularen Stationen haben UNI-G Stationen! schon seit 2-3 Jahren! und genau das sind Uni-G Stationen. hat doch jede neue bahn von dm!

 

[k2k]

Mooooooment! Die beiden DM-KSBs in La Plagne sind nicht Uni-G, zumindest nicht was die Verkleidung an geht. Gut, dafür sinds Poma-Nachbauten. Aber sieht besser aus als Uni-G. Und es zeigt, dass es auch Sache der Kunden ist, was sie für Liftstationen bauen, und es durchaus Alternativen zu Uni-G gibt.

und wofür stand was??

 

[Anonymous]

naja, wahrscheinlich eine Anleihe aus gängigen T-Shirt Größen

je nach Bedarf. Für starre Antriebe (kürzer, da nicht beweglich) UNI-S und die anderen wahrscheinlich für entsprechend längere Stationen. (Spanneinrichtung, fahrbare Antriebe..., 90°Einstieg..., Wunsch des Kunden)

 

[Yoshi]

upsa, des war ich.

 

[Emilius3557]

@k2k: Ich will nicht nerven, aber du sagstest im März, dass es vielleicht noch La Plagne-Bilder von deinen Eltern gibt, die aber wegen technischer Probleme nicht abrufbar waren oder so. Wird da noch was draus?

Oh, schon ziehmlich eingestaubt dieses Topic ... na dann:

Vollautomatische Systemlösung von TechnoAlpin überzeugt in Perisher Blue, Australien

Während ganz Europa bei beinahe frühlingshaften Temperaturen den Winterbeginn herbeisehnt, planen und realisieren die Skiresorts in Australien und Neuseeland gerade die Investitionen für die Skisaison 2007.

Perisher Blue, (New South Wales) das grösste Skigebiet Australiens, investiert auch heuer wieder in den Ausbau der technischen Beschneiung.
Nach mehrjähriger Erfahrung mit einer manuellen Anlage, stellt man nun auf einem neuen Pistenabschnitt auf vollautomatische Beschneiung um.
Zum Einsatz kommt die gesamte Produktpalette von TechnoAlpin: Von der Propellermaschine M18 auf Turm über die Hochdrucklanze H3 bis zur neuesten Lanzengeneration der A-Klasse.

Aufgrund der hohen Luftfeuchtigkeit und der damit verbundenen Raureifbildung kommen auch in Perisher Blue die beheizten Turbinenflügel zum Einsatz. Diese haben sich in Coronet Peak, Snow Park (beide Neuseeland) und Mt. Hotham (Australien) bereits bestens bewährt.
Die vollautomatische Steuerung und Visualisierung übernimmt ATASS.
Die maximale Nutzung der möglichen Schneifenster bei den ständig herrschenden Grenztemperaturen waren die bedeutendesten Gründe für den Wechsel zu einem vollautomatischen Beschneiugnssystem.

für die nächste Saison (200 ist am Mt Buller eine 6 KSB geplant, die erste 6 KSB in Australien!

Buller Ski Lifts is building Australia’s first high-speed, six-seat chairlift for the 2008 season.

The $6 million Doppelmayr chair will replace the ABOM Chairlift and will run from Helicopter Flat, near the Ski School, to the top of Baldy.

The new lift will be able to move 3200 skiers per hour and will make the 1100m trip in 3.7 minutes.

As part of the upgrade, the Blue Bullet 2 and the Abom Triple Chairlifts will be decommissioned.

Buller Ski Lifts’ general manager, Laurie Blampied, said the new chairlift was further evidence of the resort’s commitment to its masterplan and its objective to modernise and consolidate the lifting system without compromising capacity.

“Mt Buller has always had the most extensive lift system in Victoria and the new ABOM Chairlift will enable us to move skiers from the Village more quickly, meaning more time on the slopes for our guests.

“Buller is the only Australian resort to have committed to two new chairlifts in the past three years, and the new ABOM chair will complement the Emirates Chairlift, which was built in 2005.

“The skiing and visual amenity of Baldy will also be greatly improved by removing the Blue Bullet 2 lift towers, increasing the amount of skiable terrain on this popular beginner run.”

As part of the project, snowmaking on Bourke Street and Baldy will be upgraded to further enhance the visitor experience, with the support of the Alpine Resort Management Board.

The new ABOM Chairlift will be ready for operation when the 2008 snow season starts in June.

Betrifft Neuseeland:

Coronet Peak: große Erweiterung der TechnoAlpin Beschneiungsanlage

Das führende neuseeländische Skiresort Coronet Peak arbeitet bereits seit mehreren Saisonen erfolgreich mit TechnoAlpin Schneeerzeugern.

Nun hat Coronet Peak den größten Auftrag für eine TechnoAlpin Beschneiungsanlage in der südlichen Hemisphäre erteilt. Das beachtliche Investitionsvolumen unterstreicht die enge Partnerschaft zwischen der Eigentümergesellschaft Southern Alpine Recreation Limited (SARL) und TechnoAlpin.

Derzeit werden ca. 100 ha von insgesamt 280 ha Pistenfläche beschneit. Durch die neue Anlage werden zukünftig 100% der präparierten Pisten technisch beschneit.
Das Großprojekt sieht die Errichtung von zwei Speicherbecken, zwei Pumpstationen und die Montage von 141 fixinstallierten, vollautomatischen TechnoAlpin Schneeerzeugern (48 M18 auf Turm, 24 T60 auf Turm und 69 A30) vor. Zusammen mit dem gegenwärtigen Bestand von 58 vollautomatischen TechnoAlpin Schneeerzeugern werden zukünftig 203 Schneeerzeuger im Einsatz sein.

James Coddington, CEO der SARL, ist begeistert vom Projekt: „It is a huge and exciting project which is going to deliver ‘Armani’ snow across all the trails. It will drastically increase our current snowmaking capacity and, combined with other projects including a redeveloped base building, will allow us to offer our visitors an exponentially improved experience.”

Nachdem sich in Australien in letzter Zeit relativ wenig im Bezug auf neue Lifte getan hat, werden dafür heuer 2 neue Anlagen errichtet. Am Mount Buller wird zur kommenden Wintersaison die neue 6KSB "Holden Six Seat" der Firma Doppelmayr errichtet, die gleichzeitig die erste Sechsersesselbahn Australiens ist.:

What's New in 08


Ride Australia’s first six-seat chairlift at Mt Buller this winter

Buller Ski Lifts has built Australia’s first high-speed, six-seat chairlift for the 2008 season. The new $6 million Holden Express Chairlift has replaced the Abom Chairlift and runs from Helicopter Flat, near the Ski School, to the top of Baldy.

The Doppelmayr lift will be able to move 3200 skiers per hour and will make the 1100m trip in less than four minutes. It is the first lift at Mt Buller to be run on 100 per cent GreenPower, helping the resort to minimise the effects of global warming and sustain the precious alpine environment.

As part of the upgrade, the Blue Bullet 2 and the Abom Triple chairlifts have been decommissioned. Plans are underway to redevelop BB2’s mid and top stations.

Buller Ski Lifts’ general manager, Laurie Blampied, said the new chairlift was further evidence of the resort’s commitment to its masterplan and its objective to modernise and consolidate the lifting system without compromising capacity.

“Mt Buller has always had the most extensive lift system in Victoria and the new Holden Chairlift will enable us to move skiers from the Village more quickly, meaning more time on the slopes for our guests.

“The skiing and visual amenity of Baldy have been greatly improved by removing the Blue Bullet 2 lift towers, increasing the amount of skiable terrain on this popular beginner run.”

The power of green energy

Buller Ski Lifts is helping to "keep winter cool" by using green energy to power the resort's new six-seat Holden Chairlift.

Running the new chairlift on wind-generated power saves 326 tonnes of carbon dioxide each winter, or the equivalent of 6,526,880 black balloons.

Mt Buller is committed to fighting global warming and has signed the Keep Winter Cool Charter, pledging to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to educate visitors and staff about climate change.

The resort’s environmental mascot, Barry the mountain pygmy possum, will once again be taking a leading role in educating the resort’s staff and guests of all ages about what they can do to help preserve the alpine environment for future generations.

Snowmaking expansion

Guests will be able to enjoy more fresh snow on popular beginner and intermediate runs this winter after a $500,000 snowmaking upgrade.

Additional snowmaking guns have been installed on Bourke Street and Baldy as part of the Holden Chairlift development, while the snowmaking system on Little Buller Spur has been automated.

Automated snowmaking guns are 30 per cent more efficient than existing manual systems, allowing them to start as soon as conditions are suitable and stop when they are not. This means more snow can be produced more often and the quality is consistently better. They also use less power and water per cubic metre of snow produced, so are more environmentally friendly.

The resort’s $3.4 million water reuse project, which was trialled in 2007, will be fully operational this winter pumping up to 90ML of water into the snowmaking dam. The resort’s sewage treatment plant can recycle up to 2 million litres of water each day, which will increase the resort’s snowmaking capacity by 30 per cent.

Mt Buller has been a hive of activity over the summer months with developments valued at more than $40 million under way.

Residential development projects completed include Altiset’s two Meribel Chalets and Hickory’s Timbuktu. Projects scheduled for completion in 2009 include Saint Buller, Panorama, Caribou, Courchevel and Stables.

Altiset has also completed renovations on the new Buller Backpackers in the Village Square, while Buller Ski Lifts has invested $4.5 million in its new Stirling House development, which will provide accommodation for 80 staff.

In other projects, the Alpine Resort Management Board has completed landscaping at the bottom of Athlete’s Walk. Heated paving has been installed between the supermarket and Mt Buller Chalet Hotel to make it safer for pedestrians, while additional stairs will ease congestion.

New stairs have also been constructed in the Horse Hill day carpark, giving visitors easier access to the Horse Hill Chairlift and free Village shuttle bus.

BSL seeks international recognition for green initiatives

Buller Ski Lifts is aiming to become the first ski company in Australia to achieve International Standards certification for environmental management.

The company will be audited for ISO14001 certification in April, which will determine if it is meeting the strict guidelines set by the international standard. The process looks at all elements of a company, including its policies, planning, operations and commitment to further reduce its environmental impacts.

In the past few years BSL has been working to reduce its carbon footprint, cutting its reliance on petrochemicals and looking at innovative ways to use resources. Some of the changes have included running the new Holden Chairlift on green power, using environmentally friendly lubricants on chairlifts, replacing two-stroke skidoos with four-stroke models, installing automated snowmaking systems to reduce power consumption, decreasing reliance on diesel and using recycled paper throughout the organisation.

When successful, BSL will become the fifth ski company in the world to receive ISO14001 certification, joining Lech, Sun Peaks, Aspen and Jackson Hole.

New toboggan facilities

Visitors looking for new tobogganing thrills this winter should head to the revitalised toboggan slope, which is located next to the Buller Community Centre in the Village.

Land has been cleared to make way for a bigger and better run, which offers more excitement for tobogganists of all ages.

For the first time on Buller, the Village toboggan run will also feature a dedicated snowmaking system with two automated snowmaking guns ensuring the slope has more consistent snow coverage throughout the winter.

The Gnome Roam

Guests will be able to learn more about Mt Buller’s most popular little residents this winter with the introduction of the Gnome Roam.

The gnomes’ house, which is located on the side of the Buller Road, has long been a favourite stopping place for kids of all ages on the way up to the Mt Buller Village.

In 2008, children will be able to meet even more of Mt Buller’s little folk when they embark on the Gnome Roam – a self-guided walk around the Village that allows them to take a look at a range of different aspects of gnome life on the mountain.

Families can collect a Gnome Roam handbook from the Mt Buller Post Office that includes maps, clues and sneaky facts about its gnome folk. Using the handbook as a guide, guests can head out on the search for the resort’s little gnome friends any time of the year and discover where they may be hiding - behind rocks, up trees and various other secret locations.

Once kids have completed the Gnome Roam and answered the questions in the handbook, they can head back to the Post Office and have all of their hard work rewarded with a special Gnome Roam sticker.

Making a song and dance – Barry takes centrestage

Mt Buller’s environmental mascot, Barry the Burramys Parvus, is taking centrestage at Mt Buller this winter in his own live show.

The Barry Show will have its world-premiere at Mt Buller on opening weekend. The 20-minute song-and-dance spectacular will include important messages about protecting the alpine environment and snow safety for kids.

The Barry Show will be performed every weekend throughout the season.

Selwyn Snowfields purchases Triple Chairlift
By Christie Glasson

Monday, 31 March 2008

Selwyn Snowfields has recently become the proud new owner of a Doppelmayr Triple Chairlift. The new chairlift will interset the resort stright down the middle replacing the current Township T-Bars and Powerline Poma and is the first major lift upgrade project the resort has undertaken since the installation of the New Chum Chairlift in 1988.

The second hand lift purchased from Mount Buller will be completely reconditioned prior to its installation which is planned for November 2008 with a scheduled opening for Winter 2009 and will become the longest lift at Selwyn Snowfields at 702 metres in length.

The dual loading lift will bring a variety of benefits to the resort including an increased lifting capacity meaning smaller queues and less waiting for guests. Beginners will love the ease of riding a chairlift as opposed to the current surface lifts but is sure to be a wecome addition to the resort by all visitors alike.

The greatest benefit of the new lift is the ability to optimise the snow produced on Township and therefore increase the duration of operation for the run. "Thousands of cubic metres of snow are lost every year from pushing snow off the Township run onto the lifting tracks of the T-Bars", says Bob Heatley, resort Director. "This action thins the cover and encourages a faster melt rate. The new chairlift negates the requirement to maintain lift tracks and therefore preserves the snow on the run resulting in a longer operational period." The resort estimates that an additional 2 weeks of operation would have been possible in 2007 if the chairlift had been installed.

The same can be said for the popular runs of Long Arm and Kangaroo Ridge with snow often "farmed" off these runs to maintain the lift track on the north-easterly facing Powerline Poma lift track. This will also be a task of the past resulting in a longer season for these two runs also.

The resort is currently preparing for the installation in November with many tasks and challenges ahead before the first footing can be poured. "Probably the biggest challenge is the burial of 200 metres of high voltage powerlines which currently intersect the proposed chairlift route", says Jack Glasson, Environmental Manager.

The chairlift completes the first phase of a 5 year lift enhancement plan which will see Selwyn Snowfields' terrain double in size. General Manager, Christie Glasson says, "It's an exciting time for the resort with some big changes ahead in our future and I'm confident that our guests, both new and returning, will really like what we have in store."

Wieder mal was interessantes aus Australien. Perisher Blue plant in den nächsten 10-15 Jahren komplett zu modernisieren. Dabei soll die Beschneiung ausgebaut und einige neue Lifte, darunter eine weitere 8KSB, errichtet werden. Laut der Homepage ist auch noch so ein Retortendorf in Perisher Valley geplant. Die Lift- und Beschneiungsprojekte könnt ihr euch auf jeden Fall mal auf dem Plan hier anschauen: http://www.perisherblue.com.au/winter/mountainresort/d_perisher.html

Rentiert sich das? Die gehen doch alle nach Kanada zum fahren.

 

[Whistlercarver]

Für das Skigebiet von Porters gibt es einen Masterplan. Darin steht es soll ein komplettes Dorf gebaut werden mit Gondelanschluß ins Skigebiet und eine neue bessere Geländekammer mit Sesselliften erschlossen werden.
Momentan besteht das Skigebiet aus 3 Schleppern einem Übungstellerlift und einem Förderband. Es ist mehr als 30min. Autofahrt von der nächsten Siedlung entfernt. Es wäre die erste Skigondel in Neuseeland. Gesamtes Instistionsvolumen soll 500NZ$ betragen. 2015 soll der Start sein.

Das Skigebiet Remarkables will eine erste KSB bauen. Sie soll vom Parkplatz in Verlängerung einer bisherigen 4SB weiter hoch in das Tal gezogen werden und somit zusätzliche Pistenfläche erschließen. Das Gelände eignet sich ervorragend für weitere Skipisten ohne irgendwelche Eingriffe.

 

[Whistlercarver]

In Neuseeland bleibt nach Eigentümerwechsel diesen Winter das Skigebiet SnowPark geschlossen. Der "neue" Eigentümer hat nicht genügend Zeit um das Gebiet in der gewonten Qualität zu betreiben, nach der Übernahme.

Die talstation von der 3SB am Mt. Hutt wurde von einer Lawine zerstört. Sie sind im moment am überlegen ob ein komplett neuer Lift gebaut wird oder nur eine reperatur stattfinden wird.

 

[Whistlercarver]

Wie oben schon berichtet bleibt ja das Skigebiet SnowPark diese Saison geschlossen. Das bleibt aber Dauerzustand, evtl. will man für einzelne Freestyle- oder Rennteams öffenen. Aber hauptsächlich sollen dort Schneeversuche von Autoherstellern stattfinden.
