MND SNOW Unveils New Generation of Snowmaking Solutions

At the INTERALPIN 2025 event in Innsbruck, Austria, MND SNOW, part of the French MND Group, revealed a strategic and technological renewal of its offerings. The company introduced a new range of snow guns, including the Taurus series, redesigned to deliver optimal performance even in marginal temperature conditions.

The Taurus Series

The flagship of this new line is the Taurus snow gun, known for its robustness, reliability, and superior performance. These characteristics have made it a popular choice among some of the world's largest ski resorts. MND has redesigned this product line to capitalize on the strengths of the Taurus while ensuring compatibility with market expectations regarding modularity, retrofitting, and enhanced performance at challenging temperatures.

Features of the Taurus Line

• - Single Row Taurus: Ideal for narrow slopes where precision is crucial.
• - Taurus Pro: Boasts unmatched reliability and output, becoming the new benchmark in snow production.
• - Taurus Advanced: Designed for maximum efficiency under challenging conditions, this model features three rows of nozzles and an extended coverage angle of 160°, increasing snow production by up to 40% at comparable onset temperatures to the Pro variant.

The new offerings ensure model interoperability and simplified maintenance, featuring built-in solenoid valves for precise control and lighter artificial snow heads.

Introducing a New Fan Snow Generator

In addition to the revamped snow guns, MND SNOW presented a next-generation fan snow generator. This equipment operates efficiently in marginal temperature conditions, producing 20-30% more snow than standard fan generators. This makes it an ideal option for low-altitude locations or areas with limited hydraulic pressure.

The innovative design not only integrates aesthetically into natural environments but incorporates significant technological advancements while maintaining the robust and easy-maintenance principles that MND SNOW fans have come to expect. Operators can select the most suitable solutions based on their terrain profiles and energy constraints.

Responding to Climate Challenges

MND's latest offerings represent a response to the evolving challenges faced by ski resorts due to changing climate conditions. Stéphane GAL, the director of MND SNOW, stated, “With this new range of snow guns and the innovative fan snow generator, we provide ski resorts with greater adaptability to current climatic realities. These solutions cater to the increasing demand from operators to maximize production during narrower climatic windows.”

This high-performance and durable equipment aligns with MND's vision of preempting change by delivering progressively agile, high-quality technologies.

Notable Specifications

• - Optimized operation begins at 10 bar of pressure.
• - Over 30% improved performance at marginal temperatures (between -1°C and -4°C) with low pressure.
• - Water capacity of 15 m³/h, translating to 35 m³/h of snow at 15 bars.
• - Compatible with centralized air conditioning systems, ensuring integration into existing ecosystems.
• - Environmentally optimized design ensures minimal ecological disruption.

A Commitment to Leadership

MND consolidates its position as a global leader in artificial snow production by marrying performance, adaptability, and sustainability. Their new equipment integrates seamlessly with centralized management systems like SNOW-cs monitoring software, enabling ski resorts to enhance energy efficiency and operational flexibility.

For those attending INTERALPIN from May 6 to 9, 2025, MND SNOW invites visitors to booth B150 to explore these innovative solutions firsthand. With over 3,000 clients across 49 countries, MND operates in more than 50 nations, employing 300 staff members and specializing in ski lifts, snow production systems, mountain safety solutions, and high-level leisure infrastructure.
