Alpine Media Technology delivers the

“tablet” device that sits along the
bar on chairlifts and in gondolas.
la,” said Garin Gustafson, marketing director, Alpine Media
Technology. “We saw this as an opportunity to create an
information system that was all encompassing yet unobtrusive,”
he said, reiterating that there is no audio component, only video.
The trail map on the right screen is always in view while
the left-side screen rotates among six content categories.
Gustafson reports that last year Alpine Media undertook
a five-chair test at Winter Park in Colorado. The success
of the test earned the company a long-term contract with
Alterra. “There is much room for growth both in terms of
content development and our footprint. Our goal is to cover
the U.S. resort market before heading into the E.U. and other
international regions.”
Alpine Media Technology is headed by trio Freddie Peyerl,
Gerrit Van de Kemp and Jeff Connors. While each comes from
different career backgrounds such as financial services, phar-maceutical
consulting and aerospace engineering, each were
avid skiers and could see the power of a centralized digital
information site on the mountain.
According to Van de Kemp the concept was born out of their
experiences skiing in the mountains, “The three of us were on
a ski trip together and a simple discussion on the growing
presence of gas station media systems led to a weekend-long
brainstorming session surrounding the idea that digital infor-mation
systems on chairlifts could provide a great number of
benefits to maximize guest experiences.”
Alpine Media’s website says it all when it states: “Information is
Powder.” Help resort guests discover more powder, more carving,
more ski excitement with better real-time data when they need
it most. Check out www.AlpineMediaTech.com to get the drift on
this new resort system.
