Snowtunnel will be the 'world's first endless mountain riding, real snow experience' for both experienced skiers and novices, say its creators. 

It will provide an endless spinning loop of 'constantly ridable surface area', ideal for visitors to 'enjoy snow adventures all year round'. 

An Australian company is preparing to roll out a series of giant, rotating ski barrels designed to make the experience of carving endless fresh snow available to city folk without a long drive. We talk to Snowtunnel co-founder and CEO Scott Kessler.

호주에 ‘인간 캣휠’이 등장할 예정이다. 정확히는 스키 애호가들을 위한 캣휠이. ‘스노우터널’은 높이 12.5m, 길이 16m의 커다란 터널이 돌아가며 스키 슬로프의 움직임을 만들어내는 기구다. 눈 생산 전문 기업 테크노알핀(TechnoAlpin)에서 물과 공기로 만든 실제 눈을 뿌려 실제 스키장의 감흥을 구현하며, 가장 큰 차이는 스키어 대신 바닥의 눈이 끊임없이 움직인다는 점이다. 속도를 조절할 수 있기에 초보자부터 숙련자까지 폭넓게 이용할 수 있다고. 센서와 모터가 연동된 구조로 사고 상황에도 대비했다.

This is the Snowtunnel, a world first technology to bring skiing and snowboarding to urban locations year round.

Standing at a colossal 12.5 metres high and 16 metres long, the patented Snowtunnel™ is a rotating tunnel with variable speed control, lined with real groomed powder snow made from water and air.

Set to debut in 2027, the Snowtunnel could accurately be described as a giant, snowy hamster wheel.

Did you know that you could actually go skiing/snowboarding in Australia? I didn't. The country/continent actually has an established ski industry in their southeast, where the Australian Alps are located. (I also didn't know they had Alps.)

A new Australian venture is looking to bring year-round snow sports to urban audiences, with plans for the world’s first Snowtunnel Park featuring a patented rotating snow tunnel that delivers an 'endless mountain' skiing and snowboarding experience.
