MND SNOW Unveils a New Era of Snowmaking Solutions

At the INTERALPIN 2025 exposition held in Innsbruck, Austria, MND SNOW, a division of the French company MND Group, has launched an exciting new range of snowmaking solutions designed to enhance performance even in marginal temperatures. This strategic and technological overhaul focuses on innovation in snowmaking systems, introducing a new line of snow guns named Taurus.

MND SNOW has built its reputation on producing high-quality snowmaking equipment. The new Taurus line includes several models that suit different operational needs:

• - Taurus Line: This model features a single row of nozzles specifically designed for narrow slopes where precision is crucial.
• - Taurus Pro: This model is optimized for maximum reliability and production, establishing itself as the new standard in snowmaking technology.
• - Taurus Advanced: Known for its outstanding performance in marginal temperature ranges, this model boasts three rows of nozzles with an expanded coverage angle of 160 degrees. This design can increase snow production by up to 40% compared to the Pro model, all while starting at similar temperatures.

The new lineup guarantees seamless interoperability among different models, simplifying maintenance tasks and facilitating their integration into existing installations. Each unit is equipped with integrated solenoid valves enabling more responsive control and lighter head construction, enhancing overall usability.

MND SNOW has also launched a next-generation fan snowmaker that stands out for its exceptional performance in marginal temperatures. This innovative unit can produce 20 to 30% more snow than standard fan snowmakers, making it ideal for lower-altitude sites or locations with limited hydraulic pressure. Its design allows better integration into natural environments while maintaining the hallmark qualities of robustness, reliability, and ease of maintenance that users have come to expect from MND snowmakers.

With these advancements, MND SNOW addresses the increasing demands from ski resort operators who face the challenges of tighter weather windows for snow production due to climate change. As Stéphane GAL, MND SNOW Director, emphasizes, “With this new range, we are providing ski resorts with enhanced adaptability to current climatic realities. These solutions meet the increasing demands for maximizing production within shorter windows of favorable weather. Our commitment is to anticipate future changes by introducing technologies that are ever more agile and efficient.”

Key Features of the New Products

• - Optimized operation starting from 10 bar of pressure.
• - Performance improved by over 30% at marginal temperatures (-1°C to -4°C) under low-pressure conditions.
• - Production capacity of 15 m³/h of water, equating to 35 m³/h of snow at 15 bar pressure.
• - Compatibility with centralized air networks for better operational integration.
• - Aesthetically optimized design for better natural integration.

MND reaffirms its position as a global player in the snowmaking industry, merging performance, adaptability, and environmental sustainability. The new equipment is designed to integrate seamlessly into MND SNOW's centralized management systems, showcased by their SNOW-cs supervision software, which allows ski resorts to maximize their energy performance and installation flexibility.
