Söndag 27 dec 2009, kl 18The snow produced for Royal Palace Sprint 2010, the first race in the FIS XC World Cup Final in Sweden, is now stored.
This year the climate supported the work with appropriate temperature. The development of snow planning for the competition is to only use artificial snow. The production is a cooperation with Skistar Hammarbybacken and Lenko Snow.
RPS need around 4 500 m3 snow for the track at the castle. All that snow was produced in one week.
– The cooperation with Skistar and Lenko has been very successfully, says Rutger Simonsson, RPS general secretary.
– In addition to good competence with good logistic in the Hammarbybacken and effective automatic snow guns, the artificial snow will be maked very fast. Another big benefit are the nearness to Hammarbybacken, it’s only 4 900 meter to the castle, which will lead to short transportations, declare Simonsson.
