Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Mölltaller Glacier Resort Sets New Snow Farming Record

Mölltaler Glacier Resort in Austria has announced a record-breaking achievement in snow farming, storing 300,000 cubic meters (10.6 million cubic feet) of snow from last season for the upcoming 2025–26 season.

This exceeds the snow farming record set by Levi, Finland, which has been perfecting its snow farming for the last 10 years. This year, Levi managed to store 216,340 cubic metres of snow on the Front Slopes, which is 27% more than last season. The resort states that the increase of 46,588 cubic meters alone was enough to cover a football field with 7 meters (23 feet) of snow.

Snow farming is the attempt to preserve the snow from the previous season for the next by piling it together and covering it. In a way, it is ‘snow-recycling.’ The advantages of snow farming are that resorts will have guaranteed snow for opening day, it costs less energy than artificial snowmaking, and is also more economical than artificial snowmaking. With the right insulation materials, about 75-80% of the snow can be conserved. Before storing the snow, the resort tested several types of fleece covers at Mölltal to protect the depots. The goal was to select those with the best thermal insulation properties suitable for the specific requirements of successful snow preservation.

Mölltal collected the snow after the resort closed on June 8 and is using the specially developed fleece tarps to minimize melting during the next four months. Thanks to these efforts, the glacier will be able to reopen with prepared slopes on October 10, making it one of the earliest Alpine resorts to open. Snow farming has become an increasingly important strategy for high-altitude resorts, where warming temperatures threaten traditional early-season openings.
