Ski Area Design
We specialize in the planning and design of on-mountain development including chairlifts and gondolas, ski trails, and on-mountain restaurants. Our design process applies industry standards to calculate capacity and balance of ski trails, and recommend an optimal mix of skill class and capacity relative to the lift system. Ecosign’s expertise in lift and trail design, coupled with our detailed grading plans, gives clients what they need to start construction and an overall master plan that can be used to engage suppliers of lift systems, snowmaking and other investments. The scope of our work on ski area design can include a variation of the following:
- Existing Facility Inventory & Analysis;
- Lift Terminal, Ski Trail Layout & Grading Plans;
- Ski Terrain Capacity Analysis;
- Capital Budget for Ski Area Development;
- Snow Tubing Facility Layout & Design; and
- Indoor Ski Area Design.
