In fact, there are only three days left until the winter solstice. It is time to start dusting, lubricating, testing and restarting the ski lifts and all the equipment present in your snowparks waiting for the first snow to come out and that you will became literally surrounded from the mountain lovers.
Snowboards and skis are among the most present winter equipment and used by the lovers of the peaks but, let’s remember, that they are also individual, solitary sports. As far as we know and we are sure of what we are going to say, there is a large part of your guests who like to spend their days to the mountains with their own family sliding along the snowy slopes sitting on comfortable and safe sledges without giving up the thrill of the descent in speed.
Fabric sledges: the evolution of a historic sport
The fabric sledges are the modern, comfortable and safe variant of a sport born in the early 1870s. The roots of this sport, in fact, are located in St. Moritz, when the English aristocrats of the time began to look for alternative winter pastimes. In reality, the very first slides were produced to ensure that the delivery times of goods were respected even in adverse weather conditions, driving them on the snow. The early models of the era were made with chassis and simple materials, such as wood. However, over the years, sledges have continued to be developed.
Increasing of the speed and advent of technology have made the use of new materials necessary. It is not unusual nowadays to see snow sledges made of wood as well as of plastic or aluminum. Even the famous Porsche carmaker made a carbon fiber model a few years ago to increase the fun on the snow.
Fabric sledges: the thrill of speed in total safety
Regardless of the type of sledge, there is a feeling that unites all your guests. The thrill of being able to reach maximum speed. Going downhill as quickly as possible often followed by the emotion of being able to make a jump or even two. However, this search for speed comes at a cost. So many people, especially children, are victims of sledging accidents every year.
That’s why, currently, the fabric sledges have been considered as the novelty 2019 for fun in the snow. They combine the thrill of adventure along the snow-covered slopes to the total safety of your guests. Made of 100% dyed acrylic fabric, they are available in the most varied colors. The composition and the working process of the fabric makes them strong against possible tears due to impacts with rocks, trees or other blunt objects accidentally present on the ski slopes. In addition, their foam padding has the dual function of making them impact-resistant and comfortable during the descent. Ready to welcome adults and children during their alpine evolutions, the fabric sledges are the modern and safe alternative for mountain fun.
We are convinced, however, that as winter park managers you often see people who also use large plastic bags and even metal trays to slide onto the snow. Beyond the smile that can tear you to see or even create this image in your mind we always want to remind you that the safety of your customers is essential and must always be put in the first place.
This year you can find a wide selection of fabric sleds for the seasonal enjoyment of your guests! Pomodone, in fact, makes available to your snowpark Slittone and Scivolone a range of colorful and safe wholesale sledges.
