Telure Standard 2026.1
The Telure Standard for a indoor snow slope
A versioned, Telure-curated program of checks for a indoor snow slope, written in Telure’s own words and organized by how the facility actually runs: the daily rhythm first, then the recurring program above it. It is a documented reference the facility measures its own work against and records reasons against, not a certification. The basis register below shows what informs it, and at what depth.
ANSI B77.1-informed alignment tracker
Inside Telure, this list is an alignment tracker a facility turns on with a checkbox. The recurring program below is its clause list, informed by ANSI B77.1. The facility matches its own tasks, checklist items and training items to the clauses they cover, marks the clauses that do not apply with a written reason, and its exports state what share of the rest has a check behind it.
This tracker is Telure's own clause list, informed by the organization's published document. It does not replace reading that document yourself and verifying your facility against it, and marking a clause here is a note on your own record, not a statement by that organization. Where equipment is involved, the manufacturer's documentation governs.
The daily rhythm
Opening walk
Walked before the doors open, item by item, each answer attributed to the person who gave it. The starting set for a indoor snow slope:
- Carpet lift e-stops tested at top and bottom before open
- Lift belts tracking centered; no fraying at edges or splice
- Entry and exit combs seated; mat transitions flush, no gaps
- Slope surface groomed; ice sheets broken up, no exposed base
- Snow depth read at marker stakes; numbers recorded
- Run-out barriers padded and positioned
- Plant room walk: floor dry, no leaks, no abnormal compressor noise
- Rental returns inspected before re-racking: edges, bindings, boots
- Helmets sanitized and racked by size
- Slope capacity and rules signage in place
- First aid kit stocked; AED accessible
During hours
Anything flagged during the day opens a corrective entry on the spot: the item, the finding, and who saw it. Taking equipment or an area out of service is a recorded event with a name attached, and so is returning it. Nothing waits for the end of the shift to become a record.
Closing check
The end-of-day counterpart every facility runs: securing the space and making sure nothing the day surfaced dies overnight.
- Activity areas clear: no members left inside
- Hazards cleared from floors and landing surfaces
- Equipment secured, stowed, or powered down per procedure
- Today's flagged items have maintenance entries opened
- First aid and rescue equipment restocked if used today
- Exits clear; doors, gates and access points secured
The recurring program
The work above the daily walk. Each task surfaces on the day it is due and escalates as it goes overdue. Where a check addresses a published designation, the citation chip names it; a chip is a reference, never a compliance claim.
Weekly
Carpet lift walk · belts, rollers & combs
Walk each lift end to end: belt tracking and splice condition, roller spin, side clearances, entry and exit combs, drive-area guarding. Record findings against the lift. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
addressing ANSI B77.1-2022Rental fleet condition cycle
Work a section of the rack every week: edge and base condition, binding function, boot soles and buckles, helmet shells and liners. Pull and tag anything marginal as an out-of-service event on the unit. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Slope surface & run-out inspection
Inspect the full slope after grooming: depth at the marker stakes, ice sheets, thin spots over the base, and run-out barrier position and padding. Record depth numbers as notes. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Tubing lane & tube fleet inspection
Walk the tubing lanes: berm condition, deceleration area, lane dividers, and tube condition (seams, handles, valve caps). Pull damaged tubes from rotation. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Monthly
Snow gun head & nozzle inspection
With guns locked out, inspect each head: nozzle condition and icing, mount security over the slope, hose and line connections. Record per gun. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Plant room walk · compressors, pumps & lines
Detailed plant walk beyond the daily glance: gauge readings recorded as notes, line insulation, pump seals, drain paths, and housekeeping around the units. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
addressing 29 CFR Part 1910Barrier, padding & signage inspection
Check perimeter and run-out padding for compaction and tears, barrier anchoring, and every capacity, rules, and lane sign against the current layout. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Quarterly
Emergency action plan & cold-exposure review
Walk the EAP with staff on shift: lift evacuation steps, slope clearance, cold-exposure response, exits from the hall, and the incident documentation flow. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Every 6 months
Staff training & slope-monitor review
Confirm current training records for lift attendants, slope monitors, and plant staff; schedule refreshers before anything lapses. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Yearly
Full plant & structural inspection (qualified person)
Full inspection of the refrigeration plant, lift drives, slope structure, and the insulated envelope by a qualified person; file the report against this task and open corrective items for anything cited. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
The basis register
What informs this pack, at what reference depth, and when each entry was last checked against its source. An entry here means the pack is informed by the document named; it never means the pack, or any facility using it, is certified to or compliant with it.

The manufacturer’s documentation governs
Where a manufacturer's documentation sets an inspection type or an interval for a piece of equipment, that documentation governs. The pack's cadences are a program to build on, not a replacement: when the two differ, Telure shows the difference so it can be seen and documented, and the recorded schedule follows the manufacturer.
Where Telure stands
The Telure Standard is Telure's own curated program. Telure is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by any standards body or association named here, and adopting the Telure Standard does not make a facility compliant with, approved under, or certified to any standard. Where equipment is involved, the manufacturer's documentation governs inspection types and intervals.
