Alpine Skiing

Innovative technology to simplify ski training and timing.

Professional timing

Introduction

In alpine skiing, measuring time with precision means turning a good performance into a winning result. Microgate supports athletes, coaches, timekeepers, and federations with advanced timing and analysis systems designed to meet the needs of every discipline.

From slalom to downhill, giant slalom to super-G, as well as parallel events and skicross: every race requires specific solutions. We develop them together with the people who use them every day, through a practical approach focused on innovation and always centered on people.

Examples of configurations:
flexible and customizable

We provide timing systems for every level of alpine skiing: from training sessions and amateur races to FIS Level 0 events and self-timing solutions for tourists. All devices are FIS certified and designed to ensure precision, reliability, and durability even in the most extreme conditions. Tailor-made technology without compromise.

Configuration 1

Ski School or Ski Resort

The Kit Light is designed for simplicity and mobility: everything fits into one backpack, ready to use. It includes the HiStart gate, HiLink radio, HiSens photocell, and HiTiming app for real-time results and instant rankings. Expandable with the RTpro stopwatch and automatable with HiSmart. Compatible with management systems and adaptable to any facility.

Partnership with AMSI

Configuration 2

Coaches and Teams

The advanced kit supports structured training and in-depth analysis. It includes the HiStart gate, HiLink radio, HiSens photocell, and RTpro stopwatch. The multi-frequency radio system allows multiple teams to work on the same slope without interference. HiSmart automates the process, while the HiTiming app enables detailed analysis and data export in PDF or Excel format.

Partnership with FISI

Configuration 3

Timekeepers

A FIS-certified system designed to ensure maximum reliability in competitions: GPS synchronization, wired connections for the HiStart gate and HiSens photocells, easy connection to MicroTAB and MicroGraph display boards, and PC data connectivity. The ReiPRO stopwatch manages single starts, the BIBO rule for the second run, and directly provides rankings and data for the FIS Timing Report. Backup timing can be handled through RTpro.

Partnership with FICR

Configuration 4

Ski Lift Operators

The self-timing system offers tourists an autonomous and professional experience. It includes a start traffic light, self-closing gate, and photocell connected to a display board for immediate time visualization. Cable-powered, no recharging required, minimal maintenance, and maximum reliability in all conditions.

Our FIS-Approved Systems

All Microgate ProSeries systems are FIS-certified in accordance with the rigorous standards of the FIS Timing Group. This approval certifies their precision, reliability and consistent performance, even under the most demanding conditions, for competitions where every thousandth of a second counts.

Products suited for this field of application

Microgate develops timing and analysis systems designed for every level of alpine skiing, from daily training sessions to international competitions. All products are designed, prototyped, and manufactured at our headquarters in Bolzano: hardware, firmware, software, and apps are developed in-house based on the field experience of our technicians and the continuous feedback of those who use our systems every day. We also integrate advanced technologies from ALGE-TIMING, FinishLynx, and Race Result to provide even more complete and reliable solutions.
