Las Pendientes Ski Village – Light-Gauge Steel Commercial
Las Pendientes Ski Village – Light-Gauge Steel Commercial Project
After a tragic fire consumed a beloved ski resort in Las Pendientes in 2023, SICLA led a bold and fast-paced reconstruction effort using Scottsdale’s roll forming machines. After the remains were demolished, a brand-new transitional facility, comprising a reception area, restaurant, offices, lounge, ticket booths, and a children’s snow garden, was designed and constructed using light-gauge steel material. The total build spanned 820 m² and was completed in just six months. SICLA utilized Scotpanel 7090G2 and Scotpanel 5140G1 roll forming machines to rebuild the Las Pendientes ski village with precision and efficiency.
The new structure wasn’t just faster and more efficient to build; it was also significantly safer due to the use of noncombustible materials. Designed for high-altitude snow loads ranging from 1.5 meters at the base to 2.5 meters at the top, this facility now meets modern performance standards without compromising on speed or architectural function.
