Alpentech Resume - 46th Year Qualifications

Highlights

Alpentech had the opportunity to design many new ski areas in three continents using a ski area suitability model. It was our passion to identify terrain for the best snow sport enjoyment. Our perspective has been that skiing is a life style. Our article “Dispersing skiers and riders” concluded 20 years ago that detachable lifts would eliminate waiting lines, but the attendance continued to expand often beyond terrain capacity.

Lift upgrading, has produced unprecedented trail densities. Therefore, we are often called to assist ski areas with circulation analyses leading to complex mountain grading projects for capacity adjustments.

While lift prices doubled twice in the last decade, trail grading remained a small budget addition during area upgrades. Unfortunately, trail capacity adjustments are often delayed without anticipating trail congestion. Fundamental theory for measuring comfortable carrying capacity. In reality, sound judgment for trail modification must be made on the ground.

We learnt to share Google Earth screen to obtain on site input and learnt to work remotely preparing budget proposals and thanks to LiDAR topo accuracy deliver detailed grading plans.

Because of the climate challenge, our involvement is tending to all season operation. We focus on multi-season mountain uses and suggest modifications, new development and diversifying of existing areas.

With our origin in the Swiss Alps, where summer vacationing, preceded winter sports, we are most familiar with all-season mountain resorts. Anticipating adjustment to changing markets and all season interest in mountain resorts, is common in our planning engagements. - In recognition of his work, the founder of Alpentech was induced into the Intermountain Ski Hall of Fame in 2012.

Alpentech is well known for fundamental research, land suitability evaluation and looking more creatively at master planning. The scope of our involvement has focused on mountain planning and we associate with the most reputable resort consultants covering market research, architecture and landscape architecture.

Landscape integration goes hand in hand with trail creation and modification.

Engineered cuts and fills, drainage, storm water management, lift terminal area and mass grading, soil sediment and erosion control plans, parking lot design, mountain roads and trails are subjected to landscape integration.

Combining summer and winter mountain uses has become a mandatory planning objective. Aesthetics can play a key role during upgrading, therefore landscape integration is particularly important for trails and congregation areas. This is most applicable to congregation, learning and queuing space. Visitor experiences deserve particular attention and congestion has to be addressed. The scope of inquiry has new boundaries and results in more creative evaluation of development within the resort area boundary. We developed a skill is to favorably lay out future mountain uses and integrate them in base area planning. Respecting capacity limits will help keeping recreation pleasant. Our evaluation is provided without the overtone of equipment sales staff. Our practice of ski area planning and engineering is founded on research and trends, using life-cycle and market assessments to evaluate sustainability.

While the bulk of smaller projects remains in the U.S., our extended experience in mountain planning, civil- and environmental engineering, landscape integration, natural resource evaluation and modeling resulted in a superior outcome abroad. 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.

Alpentech has been recognized with awards for design excellence that is well integrated in the natural environment. Larger mountain work is anchored in terrain modeling, hydrology and weighing of environmental parameters. Effective presentation of projects today relies on Google Earth, allowing 3D viewing. Optimal land use is often anchored in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and is condensed in comprehensive mountain development plans allowing to verify impacts and avoid pitfalls and thereby rendering master plans reliable and defendable.

While specializing on the mountainside, we are also familiar with all aspects of base area and circulation and utility planning. 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.

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 that led to our trademarked smartmap programs.

We are familiar with stream, wetland and other regulations and hillside ordinances to prepare specific permit applications and master plans that implement sustainability.

Scope of Services

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:

Knowledge-based resorts and agencies have hired us to create:

• Alternative transport system studies: Thanks to Alpentech founder’s roots in the Switzerland, we have engaged in interesting mountain transportation comparisons with rail/ aerial lift/ bus and automobile transportation in mountains. Revision of energy efficiency and sustainability concepts, can significantly reduce carbon footprint and water quality management.
• Base Site Plans: adapting resorts to the “Plan Neige” and efficient pedestrian movement concepts are helpful for congregation area layout. Ingress/ egress circulation, parking, drainage, grading, etc. depend on it.
• Mountain Master Plans: Lift and trail capacity, terrain parks, avalanche control, adventure access, summer and winter utilization, etc. require routine reviews. Invariably, Alpentech involvement resulted in substantial increase of use and revenue and has brought recognition and design awards.
• Multi-season Plans: Gravity parks, terrain parks, bike trails, climbing walls, summer slides/ carts, high ropes, artificial skiing surfaces, become options to consider. Alpentech has participated in layout and planning of the first all season Snowflex ski facility as a part of a recreation development plan near a U.S. University.
• Resort activity and adventure mapping: Alpentech has 35 years of special map and poster production experience. The most successful example is the Bryce Canyon hiking map with over 40,000 copies sold. The Wasatch Touring map series, which illustrate hiking, mountain biking, climbing, and winter backcountry touring, are in 2nd and 3rd printing. Two new touring maps for the Oqui rrh and Stansbury Mountains Southern Wasatch are currently in production to ease the congestion of the Central Wasatch.
• International Comparisons of Opportunity spectrum: Since January 1, 2015, Alpentech GmbH operates a Swiss Branch Office focusing on comparative analysis and International Business. - The Alpentech Welcome Center, is available for small focus groups to learn from the Swiss how to approach sustainable development and adapt plans for the long term.
