As a ski area operator for over thirty years now, both in Canada and the US, I have come to appreciate the importance of investing wisely in resort infrastructure. The economics of snowmaking and water pipe installation has been recently changed with the introduction of TRM ductile pipe from PNP. The cost of this new solution,
one that significantly outlasts traditional steel pipe, is significantly higher than traditional pipe yet provides a solution that more and more operators are selecting. There are few product innovations that are considered game changers in our industry. Ductile iron pipe is one of them.
