Secured future operation of the ski center – Trollheim sport

Today get operating company Surnadal Alpine AS an annual grant from owner Surnadal Municipality nominal value of NOK 1.45 million to cover some of the progress at the plant. The operating contribution has been increased twice, first from $ 350,000 to US $ 1,000,000 and later to £ 1.450.000 later than last year. The recent increase is primarily related to investments in snowmaking facility.

The municipality grants goes entirely to costs that are billed by the property Surnadal Alpine Property AS, including covering the costs for ski lifts, snowmaking, snow groomers and barley. In 2015 invoiced Surnadal Alpin Eiendom AS operating company for $ 1,747,000. The board of the operating company points out even in a memo to the council in January that due to negative equity and unsafe operating conditions “no basis for continued operation.”

Chief Knut Haugen describes in the dossier that the operating company currently runs on creditor helping and that the Board could feasibly have chosen to go bankrupt. They are still struggling with the season winter 2013-14, when the plant had a single day of operations on the ground:

– There’s the lag after this season as a primary reason for the negative equity.



Do grasps

Rådmannen recommends that the municipality takes control of the matter. It initiates an influx of money both companies among themselves and through the municipality, which will lead to the real estate company is weaker financially, while the situation in the operating company improved somewhat:

The property company admits a “discount” on 1 million to remedy some the startup problem with snow canons in the previous season. Running an decrease of the share capital by the amount 1.0 million with repayment to shareholders Surnadal Municipality. The municipal subsidy retained at 1.45 million. The municipality instructs moreover Board of Surnadal Alpin Eiendom AS to refinance loan debt so that it will better interest terms.

As a result of changed payment model, financial changes in both companies and fresh funds through sponsorship revenues mean alderman that the operating company going forward should be able to get financial balance in husbandry. Surnadal Alpin Eiendom AS is a deficit of about 1.1 million in the accounts for 2015, while Surnadal Alpine AS will make a profit of approximately 0.2 million. Additionally believes alderman it is appropriate to reduce the share capital in the real estate company and a corresponding increase in the operating company. Following the above transactions will Surnadal Alpin Eiendom AS have an equity of approximately 4.5 million while Surnadal Alpine AS get equity of approximately 0.1 million. Additionally believes alderman it is natural to challenge Surnadal Alpine AS to look for opportunities to solve some operational tasks on voluntary basis, for example in conjunction with Alpine group in Surnadal IL.

Haugen brag operating company, who single-handedly has obtained sponsorship from a dozen local businesses that support with around 180,000 kroner. year for three years. But while considering alderman in the dossier the 2016 budget for Surnadal Alpine AS as relatively pessimistic, especially considering that the number of operating days is set as low as 60 days.



Fighting?

A certain future pessimism could also be tracked by the government.

Jonny Melkild (Labor) believes Rådmannen proposal looked like a “quick fix”, and think that the solution is shortsighted. It generated no more money with this grip and the operating company must reduce costs or increase revenue if the long term will go well, think Melkild.

Nils Håvar Øyås (Sp) seem recommendation is very good, but challenging board of the operating company to review their strategies for marketing and increased sales in winter destination Surnadal.

– There is an excellent potential for sales. There are nowhere near similar experiences in neighboring municipalities.

Øyås got support from the party trap Bergsveinhølen Brøske, which is believed to have a very active position on how the alpine driven forward. Brøske compared ski hill with Eye Stadium and believes Surnadal wants to have this kind of thing in society, but that it requires cost and operational efficiency within the current framework.
