As a Official Supplier we have provided 2.100 slalom poles, 4,5 km of B-nets, 15 km of BC-nets and C-nets, type-A structures and 160 air pads for finish area and slopes.
Considering the experience of the Engadin ski resort into Alpine World Ski Championships (it hosted 1934, 1948, 1974, 2003 and now 2017 editions of the event ), the approval is – for us – even more valuable.
The winter season is not over yet: our salom poles and protection devices are in Kvitfjell (Norway) for male races of the weekend.
As we did last year, we’ll move to PyeongChang (Korea) for the female races in March. Also in Korea, slalom poles and protection devices are SPM branded.
