Rails
Sliding surface in spray-painted warm welded steel.
No other rail slide surface should be legal!
QualityInnovationSafetyPassion
PassionOur rails are developed and tested with professional riders to ensure all angles and curves are perfect.
We are constantly seeking to challenge ourselves with our rail designs; and you get to enjoy the fruits of our labour with new obstacles and fea-tures that can be integrated into your snowpark.
MaterialIt 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.
ProductionAfter producing rail for over a decade, we know how to make the produc-tion 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 designOur rails are supplied in standard yellow or black phenolic coated plywood, but we can tailor-make your rails in any other colour.
Your rails can provide a prominent location for your brand or your spon-sor’s artwork – our graphics department can custom reproduce your logos or advertisements which we can then mount on the sideboards.
TransportRail products are XL and we want to make the delivery process as easy as possible for you. So to ease your logisti-cal 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.
InstallationLong park obstacles can be hard to move around, but all our
obstacles are divided over 1,5, 3 or 6 metres and comes with holes suitable for Kässbohrer PistenBully forks. In addition, detachable stabilizing feet make for effective installation and compact transportation.

SafetyOur rails are made of steel and we have taken
the utmost care in ensuring our safety guide-lines 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.
-All rails have 90° bend or are hemispherical shaped at start and end to insure no protruding parts.
-High-end breakproof material.

Steel
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.
Pioneers...Northern RailspatentedSteel Profile
products : rails features 11
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 and plastic
Smooth – We have eliminated ‘bubbling’ plastic problems
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
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.
We have worked hard to develop a wide range of rails so that you can cater for all the ability levels of your riders; rails come with different sliding surfaces and in various sizes.

Probably thebest railsin 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 co-operation 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 highly-effective.
Our rakes and shovels have been designed to enable you to work more ef-ficiently and effectively than ever before.
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:

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 solu-tions 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 manage-ment long into the future. Time saved means money saved.
Share your experience…
When your park is ready…we have pioneered interactive web presen-tations that will allow visitors to your website enjoy a 3D experience of what your park has to offer.
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.

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.
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…
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…
World record jump!
Been there, done that.
Kickers, corners and crazy stuff.
Built for the pro’s and legends.

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.

Event
Marketing in the riders’ backyard, or down town
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?
At Northern Rails, we provide top-class event solutions that will make sure your event is executed with precision and impact.
services : event 89
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.
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!
