Ski Slope Lighting

The main task of ski slope lighting is to create a comfortable and safe environment for athletes, spectators, and service personnel. The situation is complicated by the fact that ski slope lighting involves installing equipment in areas with complex terrain. Snow is a good reflector, so when preparing a project, it is important to eliminate the blinding effect and glare.

Ski slope lighting is regulated by regulatory documents that establish intensity and color rendering, and acceptable standards for horizontal and vertical lighting. Regulatory documents: VSN I-73, rules З1-115-200, CIE BS EN 12193:2007, CIE 83-201.

The Fossa Electric lighting company carries out turnkey design solutions for ski resorts, creating comfortable and safe lighting for all objects on the territory:

  1. Administrative buildings;
  2. Slope sections: descent, acceleration;
  3. Lifts;
  4. Stands;
  5. Launch pads.

Stages of designing and installing lighting for ski resorts

  1. We go to the site, collect the initial data for lighting the ski slopes;
  2. We perform lighting calculations and design;
  3. We coordinate with city structures if necessary;
  4. We prepare a computer visualization of the lighting of the ski slope, we coordinate the project with the client;
  5. We form an order for the production of lighting and installation equipment;
  6. We perform installation and commissioning;
  7. We transfer a package of design and technical documentation.

Ski Trail Lighting Standards

LED and metal halide floodlights are used to illuminate the ski slope. Depending on the features of the facility, the equipment is located on the ground or on masts, which are installed in a checkerboard pattern, the light flow goes in the direction of the descent. The height of the masts reaches 30-50 meters.

When lighting ski trails, factors related to visual comfort and safety are taken into account:

  • Target purpose: ski jump or slalom slope;
  • Level of athletes' training: beginners, amateurs, professionals;
  • Features of the slope: length, width, angles;
  • Need for photo and video shooting.

All of the above conditions are met with proper lighting of the ski trail. When deciding on lighting technology, the established lighting standards at ski resorts and slopes are taken into account.

  1. The minimum lighting level for the lift and common areas is 20-30 lux.
  2. For the slope itself, especially if competitions are held on it, the minimum value increases to 100 lux.
  3. To ensure high-quality photo and video shooting or live TV broadcasting, the illumination intensity increases to 1200 lux.
  4. Lighting of the slope for technical (emergency) maintenance should be at least 10 lux.

Features of ski slope lighting

Ski slope lighting has several features that ensure safety and comfort for athletes:

  • Ski slope lighting should be bright enough for athletes to see in front of them and react obstacles and changes in the track terrain.
  • Lighting should be uniform along the entire length of the track to avoid shadows and blinding spots that can impede visibility and increase the risk of injury.
  • Lighting fixtures should be installed in a way that eliminates reflections of light from snow and the creation of blinding effects.
  • Lighting fixtures should be resistant to adverse weather conditions such as snowfall, dense fog or strong wind.
  • For optimal lighting of the track, a control system can be used that allows you to adjust the brightness and direction of the light depending on the lighting conditions and the needs of the athletes.
  • Track lighting must meet safety standards to prevent possible accidents or injuries to athletes.
