If Snowflex® had been available 12 years ago, I would have not bothered with snow. This is fantastic.

Home Investors & Developers Introduction

Introduction

Snowsports are appealing, attractive and fun, and an easy vehicle to attract custom, generate revenues and get a good return on investment.

Snowsports are arguably one of the most marketable activities in today's commercial world. With the advent of Snowflex® it is now possible to bring the "mountain to the people". That said, it would be unwise to suggest that Snowflex® offers an Alpine mountain experience. However, importantly, Snowflex® offers a unique chance for people to develop their skills in a safe, very accessible location, 364 days of the year. The compact area and availability gives an intensity of the activity that is just not possible in a mountain resort which leads to rapid skill development which is the "hook" of the business.

Bringing the mountain to the people

Snowflex® makes it possible to bring snow sports to where the people are - in towns and cities.

Snowflex® provides an excellent opportunity for mountain resorts to develop customers for their winter sports market either from towns and cities, or by providing additional summer activities in the resort.

Snowflex® is safe & fun

Great for learning snowsports
Softer to fall on than hard pack snow
Safe controlled environment
Great for tubing and sledding

Accessible to all ages and abilities

Those who could never get into the school teams find it easy to participate in snow sports. There are no skill or equipment barriers. The age range to participate can be from at least 3 years to 80 years plus.

Available 364 days a year

Snowflex® is not dependent on weather conditions
Snowflex® centers can be pen all year round

Rapid skill development

Safeness of the surface encourages rapid skill development
All year round availability means customers can practice when they want to and at their own pace.
Up to 15 circuits per hour are possible compared to just 3 in a typical mountain resort which inevitably brings more rapid skill development.

Customer loyalty

The Snowflex® experience and social scene surrounding it encourages return visits all year round.
Interesting Snowflex® slope features and terrain mean customers don't get bored.
People attract people making a Snowflex® snowports center an attractive, sustainable business model.

A great social scene can be created assuring customer commitment and loyalty, which is unlikely to be equaled by other types of businesses. Unlike a "passive ride" leisure/theme park, many repeat visits should be expected, encouraged and developed. A good theme park will attract customers once or twice a year. A well designed and managed Snowflex® facility should expect to see customers once or twice a week. If not more!!
