Industry Leaders give a nod to sustainability and durability with their new on-mountain piping purchases for 2018.

Denver-based PNP Supply, LLC (PeopleNeedPipe.com) is proud to announce three new orders for high pressure ductile iron pipe and fittings from three leading North American ski areas. The orders came in from Aspen Skiing Company (for Aspen Mountain) and Alterra Mountain Company (for Steamboat Resort and Squaw Valley). This pipe work is being completed as part of the 2018 infrastructure improvements on each mountain, replacing existing steel pipe installed in previous phases of snowmaking development.

“We are thrilled to see these industry greats understand the efficiencies, economics and myriad benefits of the VRS^®-T high pressure DI systems from TRM Austria,” said Peter B. Alford, PNP Supply’s President and CEO. “In North American snowmaking systems, severe corrosion of steel pipe is becoming more prevalent. Ductile iron pipe has been used extensively in Europe for decades. With its DUPLEX exterior coating system and its concrete lining, ductile iron piping lasts decades longer than steel. This long life cycle combined with the genius of our patented joint system and ease of installation make ductile Iron pipe a stellar investment,” Alford concludes.

Steamboat Resort placed the first order for this VRS^®-T system in 2006, and this will be its eleventh order. Aspen Mountain placed its first order in 2007, and this will be its tenth order. Squaw Valley placed its first order in 2007, and this will be its eighth order.
