Skyridge systems - Modern and reliable ski resort infrastructure
Skyridge is Saimen’s dedicated brand for ski resort and alpine infrastructure, offering a comprehensive portfolio of equipment tailored to the needs of modern ski areas. From high-capacity chairlifts and gondola lifts, to snowmaking systems, mountain utilities, and supporting infrastructure, Skyridge equipment is engineered to meet the operational, safety, and user-experience requirements of the most demanding ski resorts.
As a Canadian-owned company, Saimen brings a unique perspective to ski resort equipment. Many of our engineers and managers are active skiers themselves, giving us firsthand insight into what matters most—not just from a technical standpoint, but from the point of view of the skiers. This skier-centric mindset is embedded into every Skyridge equipment design, ensuring comfort, efficiency, and safety on the slopes.​​​​
Skyridge are CSA-compliant and are developed in alignment with North American safety and environmental standards. With Saimen’s proven expertise in power infrastructure through our Powerlink brand, Skyridge is uniquely positioned to deliver complete, integrated resort solutions—from power delivery to people movement.
Each lift system—whether it’s a fixed-grip chairlift, detachable gondola, or surface lift—is engineered for reliability in extreme weather conditions, with features such as redundant control electronics, emergency evacuation systems, and remote diagnostics for maintenance teams. These built-in redundancies enhance uptime, reduce operational risks, and ensure consistent rider safety during peak resort hours.
In snowmaking, Skyridge offers fully automated systems that include high-efficiency snow guns, pumping stations, pipeline networks, and climate monitoring integration. Designed for energy efficiency and precision, these systems help resorts extend their seasons, manage snow quality, and operate sustainably under varying climate conditions.
Skyridge equipment can also be integrated with Libertevision, Saimen’s outdoor digital signage platform, to enhance slope-side communication. This allows for real-time safety alerts, lift status updates, and wayfinding, while also offering resorts the opportunity to monetize screen space through sponsorships or advertising content. Digital signage can be positioned at lift boarding points, base lodges, and trail intersections to provide valuable information and revenue generation.
All Skyridge equipment is designed with ease of maintenance and long-term serviceability in mind. We offer full technical support, training, and remote assistance, ensuring that resort teams can operate and maintain systems efficiently over their lifespan.Whether upgrading an aging lift system, expanding snowmaking capacity, or planning a new resort from the ground up, Skyridge provides the tools, technology, and expertise to make your mountain vision a reality. With Canadian design, skier insight, and rugged engineering at its core, Skyridge is the dependable choice for ski resorts that prioritize performance, safety, and guest experience.
