Ostrava, 7 August 2023 – NanoTrade s.r.o., one of the oldest nanotechnology companies in the Czech Republic and a co-founder of the Czech nanotechnology cluster, is presenting revolutionary winter sports technology under the SKI365 brand. This innovative technology is designed to address the problem of snow shortages caused by global warming. SKI365 comprises innovative surfaces and training simulators for all skiers, snowboarders, ski mountaineers and cross-country skiers. This unique technology has earned the trust of athletes around the world and has received many positive reviews from professionals and coaches. NanoTrade currently offers both standardised machines and bespoke ones under its SKI365 brand. 

The problem: a lack of snow

Winter sports resorts are short of snow, and producing it is costly and environmentally unfriendly. SKI365 products allow sports enthusiasts to enjoy winter sports not only during the winter months, but all year round. Resort operators therefore no longer need to worry about their investments.

“We are proud to be able to present the SKI365 technology, which offers high quality and reliability while also emphasising sustainability and cooperation with towns and regions,” said Ing. Václav Torčík, Strategic Brand Development Manager for SKI365. “Our company is built on the values of safety, investing in education and developing the community, and we believe that our technology is taking winter sports into the future. We weave snow into carpets. In doing so, we create a gliding surface with properties similar to those of snow.”

The solution: SKI365 technology

1. Safety and reliability: SKI365 places great emphasis on the safety and reliability of its simulators so that athletes can train with confidence and peace of mind.
2. A quick return on investment: The brand’s pricing policy is set so as to keep the technology affordable. SKI365 products offer a wide range of applications.
3. An inevitable future: Artificial cross-country skiing tracks will soon be a necessity. For now, they offer benefits for professional athletes and for teaching children. Before long, however, they will also become commonplace for the everyday running of sports facilities.
4. State-of-the-art materials: Snow can be imitated thanks to unique changes to the properties of materials achieved through nanotechnology. The combination of macroscopic properties and nano-modifications reduces friction between the ski base and the surface of the special carpet. We like to say that we weave snow into the carpet.
5. Development through collaboration: NanoTrade s.r.o. works with universities and experts, which enables continuous development and improvement of the SKI365 technology. The technology’s development has been supported through research projects funded by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
6. A sustainable, eco-friendly solution: SKI365 technology offers an environmentally friendly alternative to producing or transporting snow, minimising the negative impact on the environment and promoting a sustainable approach to winter sports.
7. A footprint in the regions: SKI365 aims to work with towns and other organisations interested in investing in their region and developing the local community. We offer our simulators not only for sale, but also for hire for one-off events or for teaching at schools.
8. An informal character: The SKI365 brand focuses on quality while also maintaining an informal, friendly character so that clients enjoy a great atmosphere.

Interest soaring by hundreds of per cent

Even at the midpoint of the year we are seeing a more than 320% increase in the number of clients, with children leaving us with broad smiles and begging their parents to let them come again. We love creating smiles and are proud that children put what they learn with us to good use on the snow. The number of enquiries from both the Czech Republic and abroad has grown by dozens year on year. “Essentially every two weeks we create a new visualisation for clients,” says Ladislav Torčík, the company’s director, with a smile.
