The Intention of the „Ski – Plan“ • First Step: – Flattering and widening of the existing pists and skiways – Establishing an Artificila Snow making system – Development of the lifts: 2 new lifts (Ruia and Lupului); building of new pists for these lifts
• Second Step: – Development of the skiarea to Risnov (2 lifts) Klenkhart & Partner Consulting
13
Ski area after Step 1 • 6 CLD Ruia: 2.400 pers./h; ca. 1.100 m length • 4 CLF Lupului: 1.600 pers./h; ca. 800 m length • Artficial snow making with a lake with 120.000 m³ • 22.800 m / 67 ha skiruns • corrections and widening of all existing pists • new machines for grooming

Artificial Snow Making • Basic layer of artificial snow on 58 ha within 100 snow-making hours • 2.500 m³ water/ha and year • Artificial Lake on Ruia: 120.000 m³, water from melting ( two refill – stations with pumps) and from the don’t used water of the drinking water asset of Poiana Brasov • 3 pumps with 50 l/s and 50 bar (400 kW) • Water with gravitation pressure for the lower parts of the pists about 100 l/s Klenkhart & Partner Consulting

Suggested system of Snow Making •
System of snow – making lances with a central compressor – station: – Advantage: the lances are situated along all pists (every 50 m) and ski – runs (every 100 m); you don‘t have to transport it during the whole winter, you ca use it whenever the conditions are good – Advantage: the lances were build up in Oct. and must not be relocated during the whole winter – Drawback: the lances make not so much snow (max. 4l/s) ¾ We recommand: a system of lances for all ski-runs except on the wide pists
•
System of snow – making propeller - machines: – Advantage : the propellor machines make a lot of snow (max. 12l/s) – Drawback: electricity in the field, expansive machines ¾ We recommand: propellor machines on the wide pists (upper part of Subteleferic, Sulinar below Ruia, pists above Bottom station Klenkhart & Partner Consulting

Required Investments • Step 1: – 2 Lifts and pists, 2 grooming machines 7,81 Mio € – Artificial Snow – making incl. Lake 10,00 Mio € – Electricity, other pists, parking, etc. 2,19 Mio €
• Sum step 1
20,0 Mio €
• Step 2: – 3 Lifts and pists, grooming machines 18,0 Mio € – Electricity, pists, snowmaking, parking... 7,5 Mio €
• Sum step 2
25,5 Mio € Klenkhart & Partner Consulting
34
The investments include • Power supply (medium voltage system, transformer stations) • All lifts complete (delivery and assembly, implementation: poles, foundations, cable track, etc…) • Ski run and ski trail construction in the area • All technical snow facilities incl. pump-stations • Ticket system • 5 Grooming machines • Safety equipment for pists • Construction of funpark, ski beginners area, etc. Klenkhart & Partner Consulting
35
Recommendation for Implementation • Complementing the winter season, various attractions to promote the winter and the sommer season should be developed; • The result of the Cost-Benefit Analysis is positive for the implementation of Step 1 (2 new lifts, pists, grooming machines) and realistic scenario (15% more skiers, switch to day tickets, imputed interest: Euribor + 2%) • Development of infrastructure and snow-making is of common interest (Municipality, EU, etc.) • Therefore the implementation of Phase 1 is definitely recommended Klenkhart & Partner Consulting
36
Recommendation for Implementation • Investment of the Municipality will trigger significant private investments (hotels, restaurants, services, etc.) • Further flexible development of Step 2 depending on the reception of the potential markets and the highway from Bukarest; • Implementation of these 2 Steps guarantee high standard of the Ski Area – comparable with leading resorts in the Alps; Klenkhart & Partner Consulting
37
Recommendation for Implementation • Pist – corrections and pist - construction: Construction company with experience in „alpin constructions“ in steep slopes and in dynamiting
• Building of the artificial lake: The Construction company should have realized at least 2 or 3 such artificial lakes and should also have experience in dynamiting
• Building the cable and pipe- trenches, etc.: Local Construction company Klenkhart & Partner Consulting
