More than a promise, it's reality!

100% snow quarantee

Levi Ski Resort guarantees snow from October to May! Enjoy over 200 days of skiing and cross-country skiing each year!

Experience the ultimate winter at Levi! Mother Nature does her part, and Levi Ski Resort does the rest to deliver a seven-month winter season. Levi's arctic winter is unparalleled, as is Levi Ski Resort's snow expertise. The secret behind Levi's snow lies in cutting-edge technology, world-class snowmaking, snow storage innovations, and our highly skilled staff, along with a touch of luck with the weather conditions.

Endless winter

The snow storage system was originally developed to ensure the hosting of the Alpine Skiing World Cup competitions in 2016. Levi's determined development work in snow storage also paved the way for an earlier start to the skiing and cross-country skiing season.

Preserved snow is made with snow cannons in cold conditions in January-February, minimizing water and energy use. In spring, the snow is collected into covered snow piles to wait through the summer, reducing the need for snowmaking at the start of the season. We have also invested in the latest preservation technology covers, which significantly reduce the loss of recycled snow. Before a permanent and thick natural snow cover arrives, the slopes are snowed, aiming to make no more snow than necessary. Levi Ski Resort has over 300 automatic snow cannons that operate only under optimal conditions.

Levi Ski Resort’s Glacier: Preserved snow peak innovation

The latest development is the "Glacier," which enhances the preservation process. In the summer of 2022, a new chairlift was built on the Front Slopes, and the slope base was leveled. The Glacier slope’s snow storage area maximizes the amount of recycled snow and minimizes the melting rate, creating a good base for winter natural snow and new artificial snow.

Levi Ski Resort is a pioneer in storing snow, and we have developed optimal tools and techniques for the snow preservation process in collaboration with various stakeholders. Favorable arctic weather conditions, a high-tech snowmaking system, and years of work to optimize snow storage ensure perfect slopes and performance venues throughout the winter season, as well as snow certainty for the Levi World Cup.

Preserved snow and its positive effects

Preserved snow has become an important part of the snow infrastructure for Levi Ski Resorts.

The Secret of snow

How do we bring about the snowy wonderland?

"Levi is a pioneer in snow preservation," FIS Competition Director Peter Gerdol

The "glacier" in Levi's Front Slope guarantees athletes safe skiing conditions from the beginning of October onwards.

How automated snowmaking helps improve our energy efficiency

Levi’s location in Lapland is excellent in terms of guaranteed snow. Still we need to also resort to making snow.

Efficienct of fell operations with machinery and skilled drivers

The goal is to always produce the right amount of snow in the right place, which is why successful collaboration between machine operators and snowmaking staff is essential.
