Abstract
A method for handling insulating materials used for storing snow, wherein the insulating materials covering a heap of snow stored through the summer are taken off the heap of snow before the snow in the heap of snow is transferred to a selected use. In the method, the insulating materials used for covering the heap of snow stored through the summer are transferred to such another use, in which the insulating materials have at least one function other than mere storage of the insulating materials.

A method for handling insulating materials used for insulating a heap of snow stored through a summer non-skiing season, wherein the insulating materials used for insulating the heap of snow stored through the summer non-skiing season are taken off the heap of snow stored through the summer non-skiing season before snow in the heap of snow stored through the summer non-skiing season is transferred and used for a selected use, and are used other than insulating the heap of snow stored through the summer non-skiing season, and wherein,
- the insulating materials used for insulating the heap of snow stored through the summer non-skiing season comprise at least one of the following insulating materials:
- geotextile, roll-up cellular plastic, roll-up cushion material made of an insulating material and coated on both sides thereof, insulation board made of polyurethane, or insulation board made of polystyrene, and
- the insulating materials used for insulating the heap of snow stored through the summer non-skiing season are used for at least one second use during a skiing season,
- wherein when the insulating materials comprise the geotextile, the roll-up cellular plastic, or the roll-up cushion material made of an insulating material and coated on both sides thereof, the at least one second use comprises impact cushions for poles and posts, or jump cushions, and
- wherein when the insulating materials comprise the insulation board made of polyurethane, or the insulation board made of polystyrene, the at least one second use comprises space dividers, protective fences, or insulating materials for temporary thermal stores.
