We have a direct link to our customers, know what they
need and now we’ll be able to directly convey these needs
back to the team designing software.
We’ve been in business since 1990, so it’s quite a stretch of
time working in the industry. I’m proud of our team that has
rallied around our technology. We have just a super group of
people working together and I think everyone in the company
enjoys working in the ski industry because it’s just a wonderful
industry. In this day and age of passive entertainment and
social media, we all love being physically active in the out-of-doors,
with good friends. It’s life affirming!
What are HKD Snowmakers’ most popular
product offerings?
CS: Our air/water tower snow guns. They’re relatively
inexpensive, provide tremendous energy savings and they’re
easy to install and very intuitive for the snowmakers to operate.
So those are probably the biggest bang for the buck for our
customers. Once those are in place, the next thing to look
at is fan technology and then automated control systems
are the last consideration. When a resort has solidified the
energy efficiency of their snowmaking system and they have
the equipment they need in place, the next thing they can
do to really improve their efficiency is to then move on to the
complexity of automation.
How can snow operations personnel purchase your
products or systems?
CS: We have sales and service coverage all over North America
and we know the resorts and the operators. If a resort isn’t
using any of our technology and have an interest in it, we
will do a demonstration for them. We’ll lend them a piece of
equipment for the season so their crew can operate it and
understand how it works. We’ll also spend some time training
them so they understand the technology and if the resort is
interested, we’ll go further with trying to figure out what kind
of purchase would make the most sense for them.
