Baseball and Skiing:
An Unlikely Analogy
In baseball, an athlete starts by walking up to the plate. When skiing or snowboarding, athletes typically need to glide, shimmy, and/or slide up to the chairlift loading area line.
Unlike baseball, where athletes run the bases, skiers and snowboarders need a frictionless surface to reach their starting area. This is where an artificial snow surface comes in. These products provide a ridable surface while maintaining a consistent ramp height. Below, you will discover Inter-Mtn.'s starting lineup, announced as if they were bases.
So, if you're ready, step up to the batter's box and get ready to round the bases:
At First Base, you'll experience the series star
Mr. Snow: EVO Extreme.
If there was ever a time to be stoked about hitting a single, this is it because the best wasn’t saved for last!
Before we dive into the details of Mr. Snow: EVO Extreme product, you may like to know what makes Mr. Snow's Textile Ski Slope the main attraction:
- Snow that never melts! Mr. Snow's patented structure is weather- and UV-resistant with a low coefficient of friction, just like snow!
- Made of soft, 3-layer high-tech plastic rolls that work without snow, water, or specialty waxes!
- Easy to Install: Just roll it out and go! Flexible enough to be applied on any surface
- Environmentally Friendly: The material is recyclable and doesn't release hazardous substances into the environment, according to DIN 18035-7
- Flexible enough to be applied on any surface
- The robust design offers uncompromised durability and an edge grip for easy skiing techniques, providing a realistic snow experience
- We offer five versions of Mr. Snow Textile Ski Slope
- In general, the line of artificial snow surfaces can be used in areas where snow may not accumulate or as a substitute for natural snow in several areas, including chairlift loading and unloading areas, learning areas, surface lifts, tubing, and lower elevation areas and for summer tubing and skiing
Building on the previous point above, regarding the uses of Mr. Snow's versatile lineup, let's focus on loading and unloading areas. Specifically, let's consider Mr. Snow: EVO Extreme, the latest artificial snow surface designed for unloading areas. It is easy to install as it is Velcroed onto the plywood at loading and unloading areas. It is also great for tubing tracks and lift installations.
Qualities of the EVO Extreme product are its excellent gliding, anti-skidding, and durability—it can withstand the rigorous demands of your most popular lift, as seen here.
If you have gone far enough and want to order Mr. Snow: EVO Extreme, contact the snow area experts at Inter-Mtn. today. They can also help you determine which Mr. Snow product is best for your area and application.
As the Official Wholesaler for North America of Mr. Snow's Textile Ski Slope, Inter-Mtn. supplies multiple variations of this outstanding product.
Crossing Second Base,
discover the durable mSnow tiles.
Unlike the other two options on this list, mSnow is a type of artificial snow surface tile made of highly durable, impact-resistant plastic that lasts for many years.
What makes mSnow particularly great for loading areas and unloading areas is that it is easy to install, has a low coefficient of friction, and supports consistent ramp height while "trapping snow" in honeycombs. Plus, maximum UV resistance and cold cracking resistance to minus 34°C (minus 30°F).
With two solutions for multiple applications, including loading area ramps, commercial tubing, summer skiing, and freestyle, mSnow's two tiles can practically do whatever you can think of:
- Recycled Orange is highly visible, extremely tough, and 100% recyclable. This long-lasting orange artificial snow surface is made from recycled orange construction barrels—at least 75% recycled plastic.
- Commercial White is super durable and 100% recyclable. The pure white in colour artificial snow surface is engineered for the most demanding outdoor year-round applications.
Hitting a double and discovering this North American-made duo will definitely give you something to think about. So, if you have any questions, the team at Inter-Mtn. is in your dugout.
For instance, what is White vs. Orange?
- While both tiles are commercial grade, this is the most asked question relating to chairlift ramp installations. The original Commercial White mSnow is always pure white in colour, whereas Recycled Orange may have very slight colour variations, and while Recycled Orange is lower in cost, this doesn’t mean the product is any less durable. In fact, the extreme durability and low cold-cracking resistance of orange construction barrels are what inspired changes in the Commercial White product, improving it forever!

Rounding Third Base is
White Ski Carpet, a simple solution.
At the third base, you will encounter a White Ski Carpet made for loading and unloading areas, as well as walkways on conveyor lifts.
This solution creates a consistently smooth surface for ease of operation, maintenance, and guest experience. Easy to install, it is best applied on flat surfaces as uneven areas can cause premature wear.
The White Ski Carpet is made from purified plastic bottles with 100% recycled content. It requires minimal natural snow, and it works great on carpet walkways, too. Like Mr. Snow, it is also available as a roll, so simply apply White Ski Carpet with an adhesive or staple/screw down.
Hitting the triple onto this artificial snow surface, the White Ski Carpet, you may wonder which of these “bases” is best for your loading and unloading area…. each product is available online at www.inter-mtn.com where you may discover the unique benefits to give you a home field advantage!
