Introduction
At Northern Rails, we have an
insatiable appetite for innovation
and development that is rooted in
our passion for snowsports - and
this winter, we want to help you
to create something exceptional.
Northern Rails has evolved to
become one of the world’s leading suppliers of both equipment
and services to snowparks, and
we are determined to be able to
offer everything a snowpark or
resort will need.
You have the chance to give
your riders something more this
year…a whole new experience.
From our unique snowtools range
and our tried and trusted rails to
our branding and event management services, we have it all covered. We’ll even train your crew!
Our vision is simple, to continue
to produce the best and most
innovative snowparks and rail
designs.
Slopestyle is growing
and is the newest Olympic sport
that the world will witness in Sochi 2014.
Snowpark culture is moving to another level...
Northern Rails will see you there.

It is our innovative manufacturing process that gives us the edge; we use
only the highest quality materials and we never compromise.
Our patented steel profile together with HD Polyethylene assures the best
and safest sliding experience possible.
Production
After producing rail for over a decade, we know how to make the production run efficiently. We use only state of the art equipment to ensure quality
and perfection.
All our rails are handmade; so we can create bespoke rails fitting your
unique requirements.

Colours and visual design
Installation
Our rails are supplied in standard yellow or black phenolic coated
plywood, but we can tailor-make your rails in any other colour.
Long park obstacles can be hard to move around, but all our
Your rails can provide a prominent location for your brand or your sponsor’s artwork – our graphics department can custom reproduce your
logos or advertisements which we can then mount on the sideboards.
Transport
Rail products are XL and we want to make the delivery
process as easy as possible for you. So to ease your logistical headache, we’ve made all of our designs as compact as
possible.
We also arrange for delivery either with our own vehicles or
through our logistics partner who guarantees the same quality
service at competitive rates.
obstacles are divided over 1,5, 3 or 6 metres and are come
with holes suitable for Kässbohrer PistenBully forks. In addition, detachable stabilizing feet make for effective installation and compact transportation.

Safety
Our rails are made of steel and we have taken
the utmost care in ensuring our safety guidelines place the rider to the fore.
In order to reduce the risk of injury, we make
sure that none of our obstacles have any sharp
angles or protruding parts.
-All the assembly holes are covered with
Polyethylene caps.
-Polyetheylene sliding surfaces are
mounted without screws.
-All sliding surfaces are surrounded by NR’s
special steel profile.
-Side panels covering the supporting
structures are fitted on both sides.
-High-end breakproof material.

patented
Steel Profile
Pioneers...
We produce the best products available through our innovative
manufacturing process.
In striving to achieve the perfect balance between steel and
plastic, we have developed and patented cutting-edge steel
technology for use in our rail boxes.
Consistent – There is always a 0,5mm
spacing in height
between the steel and plastic sliding surface
Dynamic
– We have the perfect balance between steel
Smooth
– We have eliminated ‘bubbling’ plastic
Effective
–
No screws are needed to attach the slide
surface or sideboards
Efficient
–
Our innovative production process means we
can pass on cost-savings to you
and plastic
problems
Thermal extension for Polyethylene is ten times higher than for
metals, so for rails which are in use both during the coldest Winter
days and on hot Spring afternoons, this can be a problem.
But our revolutionary patented Steel Profile lets the plastic float free
and the problem is completely eradicated.
This ground-breaking approach puts us firmly at the forefront of
our industry.

Probably the
best rails
in the world...
Our modul system gives you the unique
opportunity to renew your snowpark this
season and every season.
Your imagination will be the only limitation
because the modul system enables you
to transform your rails in to various new
sets of combinations.
What’s more, all our parts are light
enough for two people to carry and all
units have standard holes for PistenBully
forks.
At Northern Rails we know the
importance of time and space; that’s
why our parts are uniquely designed to
be compact for ease of transport and
storage.
The Modul system will revolutionise
your snowpark.

New improved snowtools.
In-keeping with our visionary philosophy,
all our tools have been developed in cooperation with the veteran park builder
and snowpark designer, Lars Eriksen.
The unique blend of Lars’s expertise
and Northern Rails’ innovative
production methods means that
together, we have developed a product
range that is both new and highlyeffective.
Our rakes and shovels have been
designed to enable you to work more efficiently and effectively than ever before.
Frankie [four fingers]
Frankie is a light and handy rake which
works just as well for shaping features in
your park as it does for maintaining surfaces
around areas prone to heavy traffic in the
ski-lift areas.
The multi-function nature of all our tools
means that Frankie will work just as well on
hard-packed as well as loose snow.
For heavier jobs as with ice where some
more muscle is needed, Frankie also comes
with a blade in stainless steel.
Key features:
Weight: 2 kg
Length: 174 cm
Blade: 60 x 14 x 0,4 cm
Blade Angle: 40°

Boris [the blade]...
is a longer and more efficient rake with a blade width of
80cm; perfect for loose snow and slush.
Boris is the perfect example of the kind of tool you can
create when you combine experience with innovation.

3d visuals and

Snowparks have become a central feature of modern ski resorts
because in parks, snowboarders and twin tip riders can truly express
themselves….
Planning and delivering a snowpark from conception to the end product
may seem like a daunting task…luckily we’ve been there and done that.
Many times. Northern Rails offers complete solutions and support for
your snowpark; from the day you first dream about it to the day the first
riders slide down those virgin rails…
Designs from the best
Our head shaper, Lars Eriksen, has designed and built snowparks all
over Europe and the parks in his home resort in Hemsedal serve as
evidence of his expertise and 16 years of professional experience. We
know the importance of site selection, course content and layout; and
we know what works and what doesn’t. You are in good hands.
Build for the future
Our obstacles and equipment are innovative and durable; and they are
built with the future in mind. We have planned for tomorrow so you can
adapt to change when the times comes.

Learn from the best…
Northern Rails wants to share our experience with you, so while we build
the park, your staff will be learning from Lars Eriksen, who frequently
conducts courses for the World Snowboard Federation in snowpark
design, layout, safety and maintenance.
Invest in your future…
We will help you to create a park that gives the optimum experience to
your riders and that is easy to manage. More importantly, our park solutions are cost-effective in the short term and you will continue to save
money in the long term. There will be no trial and error period; and you
will save time on park maintenance and effective traffic flow management long into the future. Time saved means money saved.
Share your experience…
When your park is ready…we have pioneered interactive web presentations that will allow visitors to your website enjoy a 3D experience of
what your park has to offer.

Groundbreaking…
Northern Rails has tailored the latest 3D
visualization technology to bring your park

Using state-of-the-art 3D modeling, we can
create a map of your park offering your
guests and staff the unique chance to visualize your park and obstacles in real time…
ever before they hit the park.
Build the excitement…
Using the same technology, we can bring
your park experience right into the homes
of your customers…
…with super-sleek interfaces incorporating
360° animations of your park, users will be
able to rotate images on their own and plan
their tricks and moves ever-before getting
to your resort!
For the first time ever, riders can feel what‘s

Get height
…and because we were there,
you can experience first-hand the
scale of that feat through a set of
iconic images that will take your
breath away.
Working with the world’s best
doesn’t happen by accident;
our head shaper, Lars Eriksen,
is best known for managing the
Burton shoots in his Hemsedal
‘backyard’; and over the course
of a decade building obstacles
for companies, riders, movies and
photographers, we have amassed
a wealth of experience.
We were there when Mads
Jonsson flew higher and longer
than anyone had ever done
before. He performed a perfect
360 indy over a 40 meter table
top… 57 metres high in the
Norwegian sky…
Northern Rails design, build
and project-manage spectacular
shoots - through our knowledge
and professionalism, your
company, park or products can be
experienced in a way you never
thought possible before…
World record jump!

What better way to brighten up your park than to
brand your rails or build some 3D lettering?
Rails can be branded with your resort’s identity, or
you can work with us to custom-design a unique
identity just for your snowpark!
Your rails can also be used as an opportunity
to promote your sponsors; and where better to
place their brand than at the heart of the action?
By branding features that are strategically placed
and so often photographed, you are enabling the
synergistic power of social media to bring your
images into the world of your target market.

Marketing in the
riders’ backyard,
or down town
You might want us to arrange one of our photo sessions
or even a slopestyle contest; or we could help you run
an internet-based contest with riders uploading video
clips from your park…
…remember, no matter what kind of event it is, the
riders will be stoked that something different is going
down.
Northern Rails’ events also provide an opportunity for
you to involve your sponsors; they are always happy
with well-planned events that help them to reach their
target markets.
Snowboarders and skiers just love those early white
winter months – and your resort comes alive with the
buzz…
…but what can you do to make sure that the ‘buzz’
is maintained for a whole season?
We will take care of your event from its infancy in the
ideas stage right through its successful execution,
and through our relationships with Egmont Events and
Happy Campers, we can manage just about anything…
Look out for our next park-event at a resort near you!
At Northern Rails, we provide top-class event
solutions that will make sure your event is executed
with precision and impact.
