Dry Slope Drain Fleece (DSDF) - Perfect ground cover for ski & tubing resorts
Clean ground cover for tubing tracks and alpine dry slope areas.
For tubing facilities and mat ski areas, a major problem is the drainage of rain and melt water. Our new development "Dry Slope Drain Fleece" is a hollow nap drainage element and has a friction-enhancing spin spray application on the underside. On earth materials and other substrates, the product stays in place without additional fastening, even in slope areas, and ensures the removal of water through small channels. It can be supplied in rolls of max 55m length and 4.95m width. It is possible to cut the width according to the needs.
The Skitrax mats are fixed with soil nails through the drain element. This allows a few drops of water to go down, but they do not leave erosion marks. The DSDF has a 1mm thick fleece that is waterproof and UV resistant. Our products are CE certified and therefore comply with the European Construction Products Regulation.

Hundreds of skiers are expected on the opening weekend. The 5-star Emily Sport Hotel in Lviv will open the summer season on the largest alpine dry ski slope in the world next weekend. After a successful second winter season with abundant snow, which began in December 2022 and ended at the end of March 2023, extensive revision work was carried out on the chairlift and snowmaking systems. In addition, the alpine Dry Ski Slope was cleaned by Skitrax World and prepared for the new summer ski season. First test runs on alpine skis and snowboards were successfully carried out.
Sports complex "Hotel Emily Resort" opened. Since mid-June 2022, the new 5-star Hotel Resort Emily has been open near the major Ukrainian city of Lviv (Lviv). It is a quick drive on the newly built road from the city center to the small, picturesque Vynnyky mountain area 4 km away. From the airport it is only about 10 km. Around an artificially created lake a modern 5 star luxury hotel with 6 (!) restaurants, event and conference halls, many smaller rooms for meetings, a water park, island with beach, swimming pools with large SPA & sauna landscape and an amphitheater was created.
250m long tubing track with 7 lanes. In addition to the 6 lanes on the 250 long tubing track, there is another tubing track for children. Spectacular for a tubing track is the electronic Axess entrance area. People can buy a chip card with different lane rides in the service area and then elegantly enter the tubing lane through the entrance area. There, two comfortable conveyor belts await them. The first conveyor belt leads directly to the entrance for the children's tubing track. Here the kids shred down the tube through two curves with Tubtrax sliding mats into the valley.
Dry Slope ski area with professional entrance gate. When skiers glide from the worldwide largest alpine dry slope to the lift entrance, a new Axess entrance gate awaits. With the appropriate lift ticket, the gate opens and the skier & boarder glides on the Slopetrax mats to the 4-person chairlift entrance.
Skiing and Tubing Side by Side in Oberwiesenthal. In Sommer 2022, the first HYBRID alpine dry slope with tubing track in Germany will be built at the Elldus Hotel Resort in Oberwiesenthal (GER). A 30m x 20m space of slopetrax mats will be installed on 600 m2. Primarily, children's ski courses will be held here in the summer. "Bring kids on ski" is the motto. A conveyor belt will bring the kids back up to the start of the slope. The conveyor belt will also be in use in winter, as the entire dry slope area will remain in place all year round. Oberwiesental thus offers skiing safety even around Christmas - on snow or on mats when temperatures do not permit snowmaking.
Vynnyky dry slope ski resort with 3 slopes is in the game. The first beginnings of dry slope skiing took place about 100 years ago. Real professional skiing on plastic mats has been practiced for 60 years. But where are the longest and largest dry slope ski resorts? The British journalist Patrick Thorne has compiled a comprehensive list. The question is, where does the new alpine dry slope ski resort Vynnyky in the Ukrainian city of Lviv rank? For this purpose, below is a compilation of the world's largest dry slope ski resorts and a classification of the new Vynnyky Ski Resort.

The family park delights families. A two-lane tubing track, each 40m long, is the new attraction at the Hubhof Family Park in Aggsbach (Wachau in Austria). The closed Tubtrax M1 modules were supplied in the appropriate lengths. These M1 modules cover the entire tubing track and ensure that no dirt or stones get onto the slide surface. Rust-free galvanized metal ensures a long service life.
365 Tage Tubing Bahn - Winter- und Sommergäste sind begeistert. Viele Wintersportorten betreiben im separaten Bereich neben der Skipiste eine Snowtubing Bahn. Naturschnee und/oder künstliche Beschneiung schaffen schnell eine gute Grundlage für einige Bahnen nebeneinander oder sogar mit rasanten Kurven. Alles nur möglich mit Schnee. Schmilzt der Schnee weg - lässt sich auf dreckigen Schnee noch eine Weile fahren - bis die beliebte Anlage schlissen muss. Sollte es wieder schneien, geht der ganze Produktionsprozess wieder von vorne los - mit viel Aufwand an Schnee und Mitarbeitern. Diesen Aufwand leisten sich die meisten Wintersportorte nicht mehr. Schade, denn es geht auch einfacher und unabhängig vom Schnee.
365-day tubing track - winter and summer guests are thrilled. Many winter sports resorts operate a snow tubing track in a separate area next to the ski piste. Natural snow and/or artificial snow quickly create a good basis for several tracks side by side or even with rapid curves. Everything is only possible with snow. If the snow melts away - you can still ride on dirty snow for a while - until the popular facility has to close. If it snows again, the whole production process starts all over again - with a lot of effort in terms of snow and employees. Most winter sports resorts can no longer afford this effort. That's a shame, because there is an easier way, regardless of the snow.
Plan B für die Skihütten und Skipistenbetreiber. Die größten Restaurants in einem Skigebiet sind meist in der Nähe der Bergbahn an der Talstation oder bei der Ankunft auf der Bergstation. Die schönsten und fetzigsten Hütten liegen aber überwiegende an der Skipiste oder etwas Abseits der Skipiste. Zu Beginn der Ski Saison wird eine extra Piste mit Neuschnee oder Kunstschnee von der Skipiste zur Skihütte angelegt - die dann für die ganze Saison reichen soll. Mittlerweile ein Wunschtraum geworden.
Plan B for the ski huts and ski slope operators. The largest restaurants in a ski area are usually located near the mountain railway at the valley station or on arrival at the mountain station. However, the most beautiful and coolest huts are usually located on the ski piste or hidden away a little. At the beginning of the ski season, an extra piste with fresh snow or artificial snow is created from the ski piste to the ski hut - which should then last for the whole season. This has now become a dream come true for many hut owners.
Die Attraktion auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt in Lagos (Portugal). Mit 30m Länge und zwei Rutschbahnen, war diese Tubing Bahn in der Süd Portugiesischen Stadt Lagos das Highlight auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt. Nach den Ankunft wartete schon eine ca. 4m hohe Staffage auf die Lieferung. Schnell wurden die Tubtrax-M1 Modulen aus rostfreien Stahl vom LKW geladen. Darauf wurden die Tubtrax Gleitmatten befestigt und dann nacheinander auf den Holzbrettern der Staffage befestigt. Fertig - schon beginnt der Tubing Spass.
The attraction at the Christmas market in Lagos (Portugal). With a length of 30m and two slides, this tubing ride was the highlight of the Christmas market in the southern Portuguese city of Lagos. Upon arrival, a 4m high staffage was already waiting for the delivery. The stainless steel Tubtrax M1 modules were quickly loaded from the truck. The Tubtrax sliding mats were attached to them and then fixed one after the other to the wooden planks of the staffage. Done - the tubing fun begins. Naturally on our fast and robust Epic Tube in various sizes.
