If the mercury reaches the forecast low of minus four on Thursday, this will be Perisher’s longest consecutive spell of nights this cold, seeing that 2010. While the recent cold nights have allowed ski hotels to pump out lots of synthetic snow, the natural snow depth hasn’t benefited away from the ski slopes.

Further south, Alice Springs claimed the Northern Territory’s lowest reputable morning temperature with zero. Four degrees shortly after 7 am. Minimum temperatures will step by step, grow in the course of the following couple of mornings as hotter and more moisture-weighted down air returns to the Northern Territory.
· Designed in an alpine fashion, Vail has two essential pedestrian base villages, “Vail Village” & “Lionshead Village,” with gondolas rising from every.

In January 2020, Norway’s first year-round indoor ski arena – aptly named SNØ – will open in Lørenskog, just east of Oslo’s capital city. The snow for the venue will be cooled by natural refrigerant CO2.
The arena will be fitted with three PowerCO2OL transcritical racks provided by Carrier Commercial Refrigeration, which celebrated the delivery of its 10,000th CO2 system in April. The system will deliver 3.1 MW (881 TR) of cooling in Norway’s largest CO2 transcritical installation. “Carrier’s CO2 system meets our need for a long-term, cost-effective solution for Norway’s first indoor ski arena that will allow visitors of all ages to enjoy winter year-round,” said Ing. Petter Nome, CEO of Ipnas, consultants on the project for SNØ. The PowerCO2OL platform will maintain temperatures at -4 °C (24.8°F) and be able to deliver temperatures as low as 12°C (10.4°F). In addition, it integrates Carrier’s CO2OLtec EVO modulating vapor ejector technology as a standard feature to improve energy efficiency. Carrier asserts that the PowerCO2OL platform can deliver energy savings of up to 30% annually compared to traditional transcritical CO2 systems.
