Therefore the liquidator of the ski center Kanin and Hypo Alpe Adria bank hired a company that will carry out essential maintenance work on the Kanin ski resort through the winter.

The company uses snowcats for their work. The fuel for them and workers are brought to Kanin by helicopter. Also to start work, they had to remove an about 2 meters thick snow layer from the machines. Because of the specific work the company also recruited 6 former employees of ATC Kanin, who have experience with the devices and the appropriate examinations for management of the snowcats. The ski resort is closed since January 2013, when on a cable car derailed. Two people were caught in the gondolas at that time, which were rescued by firefighters.
