How do ski resorts prepare for the next skiing season

为了完美地作为雪地美容公司运营商执行这项工作，即使是经验丰富的滑雪胜地员工也越来越依赖accurate 3D snow depth measuring solutions- 就像Leica Icon Alpine Snow Management。这个解决方案measures and visualises snow depths on the snow groomer’s display用一个数字地形模型created from bare summer terrain without snow.

Ski resort employees relying on the information from snow management systems are often surprised to discover there is snow under the machine even though the system shows negative snow depths. The reason is often found in the underlying terrain model. Just as ski resorts need to maintain the machine park before the start of the season, it is important to maintain and update the field data, specifically the terrain model used for snow depth measurement.

保持数据更新

Lukas Ganahl和他的团队来自奥地利Silvretta Montafon Bergbahnen GmbH，使用ICG70 T GNSS Rover进行地形测量。

Accurate snow depth measurements依靠设计模型的质量用过的。最新数据必须包括对本年度对地形和基础设施的所有调整。准备新的滑雪坡度，安装或修改升降机或其他更改是季节之外进行的活动的一部分 - 这些更改必须包括在现有数据中。数据可以用GNSS Rover收集，例如LeicaICG70 T GNSSROVER或其他Leica Geosystems数据收集解决方案，必须包含在地形模型中。

超越地形模型

有3D雪深度测量的两种一般类型的地形模型。Leica Geosystems使用model of the mapped surface来自不同大小的三角形。The advantage of this model is that details in the terrain, such as edges, irregularities, single rocks and trenches are accurately depicted in the terrain model available for the snow grooming. In addition, the exact mapping is essential for cutting off for roads or trenches and foravoiding the risk of collision。其他系统通常使用的定期距离1米该绘制在刚性框架中的表面。这种类型的地形模型使用少量数据，但是，这些数据将反映在测量的雪深度数据的准确性中。

您的系统组件是否已更新？

Leica iCON alpinePRO is a complete management system for the entire resort infrastructure.

与其他计算机系统一样，硬件和软件也有持续的改进。建议始终使用Snow Depth测量系统的最新软件版本 - 这将确保您可以最佳地使用所有功能。

The same holds for the continuously-updated system components. For the upcoming skiing season of 2019 and 2020, Leica Geosystems launched the图标的MC1软件高山解决方案以及newly-developed sensor technology for the 3D snow depth measurement在2019年的Interalpin上。图标高山可以安装并在任何制造商的雪地美容机上使用。普林斯（Prinoth减少现场安装和校准解决方案仅一到两个小时。
