Alpentech Resume - 40th Year Qualifications
Highlights
In the Intermountain West Alpentech is well known for designing changes to existing areas, upgrading and expanding trail and lifts systems to diversify their use. We are called to assist ski areas with complex mountain grading projects. Internationally, Alpentech is best known for new mountain resort planning and development taking place most recently in China.
With a solid engineering foundation, Alpentech contributed to the ski industry involve during the last 40 years. Alpentech gained practical experience from the ground up, applying invaluable field experience. A National Award was received for best ski area layout, a Regional (Golden Wrench) Award for best service and a County Award for good water quality management.
For example, we have been commissioned to make a Third Party Economic Feasibility Study at SnowKing Resort in Jackson, Wyoming in 2012, prior to engaging in a two year, complete all-season master planning effort leading to major upgrading. Similarly an exhausting ski area inventory had been requested at The Canyon Resorts in 2011. The same mountain has been sold in 2014 to Vail Associates which has already invested heavily on the mountain.
Alpentech uses unique modeling techniques during mountain resort layout and planning since 1982, when combined terrain suitability and wind modeling were provided to the French government. This evolved in our trademarked Smartmap analysis. Simplified versions are currently used in China to find the best additional ski slopes. In addition to advanced map analysis, our forte is fitting venue layout in the field, working with Google Earth and state of art tools. Smart adjustment to changing markets of summer and winter sport in mountains is indeed the objective for new- and re-development. In recognition of his work, the founder of Alpentech was induced into the Intermountain Ski Hall of Fame in 2012.
Scope of Services
During the climate challenge, our involvement is tending to all season operation and related studies. Modification, New Development and Diversification benefit from our common comprehensive engineering approach. Technical/ economic feasibility and operational analysis have been applied to large and small projects. We have the fitting experience to lay out future mountain uses and base areas. We anticipate a harmonious carrying capacity for keeping recreation pleasant and affordable thanks to efficient layout that will affect realistic initial and operating costs. Product evaluation is provided without the overtone of equipment sales staff. Our practice of ski area planning and engineering is based on research, using life-cycle and market assessments to evaluate sustainability.
Our mountain planning, involves civil/ environmental engineering, landscape integration, natural resource evaluation and modeling. A "second generation planning approach" with new and smarter focus on all season development brought international assignments in Argentina, Canada, China, France, Korea, New Zealand, Spain and Switzerland with the bulk of projects in the U.S.
Comparative product analysis for summer and snow sports are offered beyond one continent. Our mountain planning involves complementing ski and summer trail layout to optimally size lift capacity. Special emphasis is on carrying capacity evaluation for all facilities in keeping joy, safety and a return on investment in good focus. Alpentech has been recognized with awards for design excellence that is well integrated in the natural environment. Our work is anchored in terrain modeling, hydrology and consideration of environmental parameters and comparative analysis across continents. Finally, our design is draped in Google Earth, allowing 3D viewing. Integration of Global Positioning and Geographic Information Systems GPS+GIS help further anticipating pitfalls and finding an optimal land use.
While specializing on the mountainside, we are also familiar with all aspects of base area layout and circulation. Layout of mountain roads is a specialty. Engineered cuts and fills, drainage, storm water management, lift terminal area and mass grading, soil sediment and erosion control plans, parking lot design, mass grading, etc. Precision trail and track design for summer venues is of growing interest and can be best met with our technical interface with suppliers of slides, rides, coasters, zip lines, etc.; however, pricing and market awareness require special attention.
Better balancing seasonal mountain activities promises a more sustainable resort master plan. We maintain cost effective methods of analysis and rely on field verification. We focus on using the advantage of the natural condition for recreation and living spaces. We help to interpret and meticulously map and study these conditions, in order to justify the footprint of proposed actions. Graphic interpretation of factors affecting land use decisions via modeling is a special service, no other company has similarly perfected. We are also skilled to present plans in Google Earth.
We are familiar with stream, wetland and other regulations and hillside ordinances to prepare specific permit applications and master plans that implement sustainability.
Since mountain planning consists of many aspects of professional analysis, Alpentech has been asked to contribute items listed below, or has provided complete Mountain Master Plans. At each step of the way, we have provided unique and flexible services to the mountain recreation industry, at a fair cost, such as:
- all season trail layout and design
- avalanche studies
- civil engineering and surveying
