Kurzbeschreibung

The DSV, SNBGER, and SIS view snow mats and snow carpets as an opportunity to make winter sports more widely accessible and to strengthen clubs in the long term. We are committed to a holistic approach that combines the promotion of physical activity, environmental protection, and innovation. Success requires joint action by manufacturers, clubs, municipalities, and government agencies, with each party taking responsibility. The position paper highlights the benefits of snow mats and snow carpets for developing young talent, for access to winter sports, and for training purposes. It also emphasizes the importance of clear framework conditions and a holistic approach to sustainability on the part of manufacturers, distributors, and operators. The main focus is on minimizing environmental impact and creating innovative winter sports offerings.
