Ski gear, ready for the next run: the service that sets you apart

At JVD, we know that mountain hospitality relies on an exceptional guest experience. That is why we offer a range of solutions to dry and deodorize your guests’ ski gear, specifically designed to integrate into your hotel. No more jackets that never dry, damp gloves, or uncomfortable boots.

With our ranges of lockers, boot dryers, and glove dryers, your ski room becomes a key asset for your establishment: a premium service that builds guest loyalty, strengthens your image, and sets you apart. Because your winter sports enthusiasts deserve an uncompromising experience, your ski room layout must embody your commitment to excellence.

Enhance your guests’ comfort

After a day on the slopes, their gear is soaked, freezing, and steeped in odors. Jackets, gloves, ski boots, helmets… nothing dries in time.

The result? Overloaded radiators, rooms turned into makeshift drying racks, and a guest experience ruined by dampness and discomfort. This is not the high-end stay they expect.

What if your guests found their ski gear dry, disinfected, and odor-free… every morning?

  • No more lingering dampness from the first run,
  • No more bacteria or risk of fungal infections,
  • No more bad odors ruining the experience

Just optimal comfort and flawless hygiene, for an enhanced guest experience.

How to improve the guest experience in a mountain hotel?

Providing dry and odor-free ski gear every morning

Modern ski jackets and pants are designed with technical membranes (Gore-Tex®, DryVent™, etc.) that, paradoxically, trap moisture inside once wet. Natural drying takes 12 to 24 hours. During a week-long stay, your guests spend their days in clothes that are already damp by the second day.

The Novven cabinet dries ski outfits evenly, protecting technical membranes thanks to controlled temperatures.

Your guests find their clothes perfectly dry, supple, and odor-free, just like new

Gloves, helmets and accessories: comfort in every detail

After hours on the slopes, a mix of snow, sweat, and humidity makes gloves, helmets, and beanies a source of discomfort: heavy, cold, and often foul-smelling. Despite a night drying on a radiator, they remain clammy, unpleasant to put on, and compromise the guests’ enjoyment the very next day.

With the Novven drying cabinet, hotels can finally offer a solution. Gloves, helmets, and accessories regain their freshness, softness, and hygiene, as if they were brand new.

An enhanced experience, preserved comfort, and satisfied guests from their very first run.

Ski and hiking boots: dry feet from the first day to the last

The inside of ski boots absorbs all the day’s perspiration. When poorly dried, they remain damp, cold, and uncomfortable from the very first run, not to mention the risk of fungal infections or bad odors.

Hiking and after-ski boots, exposed to melting snow, mud, and moisture, face the same issues: mold and lingering smells quickly set in, making every use unpleasant.

With Hygitec boot dryers, no more compromises. Deep drying, disinfection, and odor elimination: your guests find their boots dry, healthy, and ready to go every morning.

For an optimal experience, from the first day to the last. Because dry feet are the guarantee of a successful stay.

Top-tier hygiene for rental gear

More and more mountain hotels are offering their guests rental skiwear, technical jackets, gloves, and even hiking boots. It is a highly valued service, especially for international guests traveling light.

While shared rental equipment poses a real hygiene challenge, our drying lockers, boot dryers, and glove dryers provide the perfect solution.

Why invest in drying and disinfection lockers?

Boost your guest reviews

Damp equipment is a major pain point. Offer an effective solution to eliminate this friction and transform it into a moment of delight.

Build guest loyalty

A guest who finds their gear in pristine condition every morning comes back. And they recommend you. Word-of-mouth is the leading acquisition channel in mountain hospitality.

Strengthen your CSR commitment

Solutions that naturally align with an eco-responsible approach, an increasingly important selection criterion for mountain clientele.
