Running a ski resort is a complex operation. Guests are there to enjoy themselves, and creating a well-run resort they will want to return to requires a lot of team communication. One of the best ways to keep your employees informed with what’s happening around your resort is by using two-way radios.

Reach out to BearCom to learn more about how two-way radios can help your ski resort employees stay in contact.

Why Ski Resorts Need Radios

Two-way radios are a quick and convenient way for staff and groups to keep in touch while at your resort. It’s essential to have clear and quick communication to help:

Maintain public safety
Ensure operations continue flowing smoothly
Provide a positive guest experience

Employees, like lift operators and maintenance crews, must receive and relay information instantly across both resort buildings and the mountain. This allows them to shut down ski lifts when necessary, complete quick repairs, close the slopes due to extreme weather conditions or other hazards, and locate coworkers throughout the day.

In the event of lost or missing guests, two-way radios can also enable search parties to cast a wider net and keep everyone in contact during the process.

Best Two-Way Radios For Ski Patrol & Resort Employees

When choosing a two-way radio for your ski resort, you want an option that can withstand harsh conditions like extreme temperatures and liquid exposure. Drawing on over 40 years of experience, our team here at BearCom recommends Motorola MOTOTRBO digital radios, like the MOTORBO R7 (with or without a display).

Motorola MOTOTRBO digital radios have impressive durability in various weather conditions, offer impressive range, and provide you with GPS tracking information, too. You’ll be able to find the Motorola MOTOTRBO digital radio, as well as the employees using it, across your resort.

Convenient Two-Way Radio Accessories

Radio accessories can better ensure your employees always have their radios with them and can easily access them. These devices include:

Belt Clips
Holsters
Speaker Mics

Another option is to use two-way radio accessories to make these radios hands-free.

The right two-way radio accessories for your employees may depend on their specific job at the resort. We can help you figure out which options will best suit the needs of your team.

Signal Boosting Technology

Ski resorts include an extensive area, which means there’s a lot of ground for two-way radios to cover. The right signal boosters, such as BDAs (Bi-Directional Amplifiers) and DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems), can help in several ways.

These boosters can increase radio range, eliminating interference, and help in getting around obstacles like mountains and valleys.
