COPENHILL RECOGNIZED AS THE GREEN FUTURE OF SKIING BY THE BBC

British news outlet BBC highlights CopenHill in a story about how dry slope skiing could be the answer to the sport’s future as ski resorts grapple with the effects of climate change. The incineration plant, doubling as a recreation center, is topped with a 400-m-long ski piste paved with a synthetic surface that mimics hard-packed snow by using concentric conical stems to provide grip. Since its opening in 2019, the plant welcomes 10,000 visitors every year to ski or take a walk on the roof or climb the 85-m-tall climbing wall on the side of the building.
