The MND SAFETY division, specialized in mountain safety solutions, will participate in the 2024 edition of the International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW), which will be held from September 23 to 29 in Tromsø, Norway. This leading scientific event will bring together top international experts in the fields of avalanches and natural hazard management. For MND SAFETY, this conference will be an opportunity to showcase its innovations in alpine safety and prevention.

MND SAFETY: Preventing avalanche risks

At the ISSW, MND SAFETY will highlight its expertise and technological solutions for proactive natural hazard management. Among the technologies presented, the non-explosive preventive avalanche release systems, such as GAZEX™ and O’BELLX™, will play a central role. These systems allow for the securing of ski areas and mountain infrastructure, while ensuring maximum safety for operators. These natural hazard management technologies are crucial for ensuring the safety of infrastructure and people in high-risk areas.

In Tromsø, MND SAFETY will also showcase its new real-time monitoring technologies, which allow for continuous snow condition monitoring and informed decision-making, enabling operators to trigger actions when necessary, not just when conditions permit. Technologies like NIVWATCH™ improve the responsiveness of mountain operators, thereby reducing risks. By working with experts from around the world, MND SAFETY continues to adapt and optimize its technologies to ensure effective risk management in diverse environments.

Thomas BERGER, Avalanche Product Manager at MND: “This new edition of ISSW 2024 will be a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate our technological advancements in mountain safety. We remain firmly committed to protecting infrastructure and people while minimizing the environmental impact of our interventions.“
