New tech and equipment to consider. SNOW LOGIC RAPID FIRE AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY Snow Logic has developed a patented wireless, battery-operated, solar-charged, cloud-based snowmaking automation solution: the Rapid Fire Automation system. The system’s portable design allows for easy relocation to multiple trails and hydrant locations during snowmaking operations. The cloud-based interface is intuitive and can be accessed from any internet- or cellular-enabled device, whether on-site or off-site, without the need for IT setup. The technology integrates with Snow Logic’s tower and sled units and Fuse air and water hydrants, as well as third-party hydrants, to enhance operational efficiency across various setups, and it can be installed in just a few days without the need for excavation and revegetation. snowlogicusa.com SUNKID TYPE N MOVING CARPET The latest generation of the Sunkid conveyor lift, Type N, is now available for customers in the U.S. and Canada through Star Lifts. The Type N utilizes the company’s i-CONTROL electrical control unit, with multi-touch display, remote system access, and regular operating data reporting. A newly designed plastic slide table reduces friction and suction between the conveyor belt and the running surface. Channels running out to the side of the conveyor allow for easier water drainage. Lateral conveyor belt guide rollers optimize wear with cleaner belt tracking, while integrated cable trays and additional storage spaces at the top and bottom stations enable cleaner cable routing and greater protection from environmental influences. The Type N is compatible with SunKid roofing solutions. starlifts.com starlifts.com PANO RAPID DETECT Pano Rapid Detect is an AI-supported wildfire detection platform that helps detect threats, confirm fires, and disseminate information to responders. The platform uses a combination of artificial intelligence, ultra-high-definition cameras, geostationary satellite feeds, a human-in-the-loop monitoring center, and cloud-based software to provide users with real-time actionable intelligence and situational awareness to coordinate a rapid response to wildfires. It enables resort operators, landowners, and first responders with panoramic real-time monitoring, x30 optical zoom to investigate incidents, incident triangulation, vegetation and weather condition monitoring, and real-time resort asset inspection, as well as analysis and early guidance on fire activity, safety zones, and escape routes. pano.ai SELFLUBE SKI LIFT BUSHINGS SelfLube has developed a new type of split ski lift bushing made from C954 aluminum bronze. The bushings are 100 percent recyclable and contain no PFTE, making them highly resistant to galling and wear. They are expected to last five years in normal service, double the life of a traditional steel, PTFE-lined bushing, according to the company. The long service life of the C954 bushings is expected to significantly reduce bushing replacement expenses and boost sustainability. skiliftbushings.com FOREMAN SIGNATURE PHENOLIC LOCKERS Foreman’s Signature Phenolic Lockers are made with phenolic resin, making them highly resistant to harsh conditions such as heat, chemicals, and moisture, according to the company.
