  • A Network-Based Approach for the Study of Criticalities in Ski-Resorts
    International Snow Science Workshop Grenoble – Chamonix Mont-Blanc - 2013 A network-based approach for the study of criticalities in ski-resorts Valerio De Biagi1,2*, Barbara Frigo1,2 and Bernardino Chiaia1,2 1 Dept. of Structural, Geotechnical and Building Engineering, Politecnico di Torino, ITALY 2Mountain Risk Research Team – MRR Team, Verrès (AO) – Italy ABSTRACT: The correct management of ski-resorts requires wide knowledge in mountain hazards, as well as a large experience. Usually ski-resorts cover a surface that encompasses more than one side of a mountain (or more than one valley); for this reason, the meteorological conditions may vary locally and rapid decisions have to be taken in order to ensure the safety of the skiers. Any intervention on the structure of the resort may entail cascade events and other critical situations. For example, a temporary closure of a lift may create large queues in other parts of the ski-area. In the same way, a closure of a ski-slope might engender overcrowding in other ski runs. All these situations are potential sources of risk. We propose an approach to the study of criticalities in ski-resorts by means of transportation network approaches based on the ability of the skiers and the grade of the ski run. An example is made on the Antagnod branch of MonteRosaSki resort. The effects of a sudden interruption of part of it, i.e., ski- slope closure or lift temporary interruption, are simulated. KEYWORDS: Ski-resort management, Graph theory, Criticalities. others (2005) made a statistics of the average 1 INTRODUCTION speeds of skiers in three different ski resorts in the US.

  • Chronology of Selected Ski Lifts Notes for 2001 Exhibit, New England Ski Museum Jeff Leich
    Chronology of Selected Ski Lifts Notes for 2001 Exhibit, New England Ski Museum Jeff Leich The following notes on ski lifts are intended to aid in the development of a Ski Museum exhibit. In many cases it is unclear from the sources referenced below exactly when a particular lift was installed or first operated. It is also probable that sources with data on certain early ski lifts was not located. It is therefore not possible to compare opening dates to determine which lift was "the first" of its kind to operate; rather, this chronology is intended to indicate the general sequence of the development of early ski lifts of the stated types. 1870 Eureka Mine ore tramway used to transport miners for skiing (Allen, 109, 203 note 22--Vallejo CA Sunday Times Herald, 12-13-1870). "For example, the ore bucket of the Plumas Eureka Mine at Johnsville (CA) was converted on Sundays into the world's first ski tow. It was operated by steam". (Gould, p 136 (ref to Vallejo CA Sunday Times Herald, 12-13-1870). 1896 Riblet Tramways Company of Spokane, WA begins designing mining tramways (Gilbert, p. 2). 1907 Sightseeing four-passenger gondola built in Silver Plume, CO; torn down for scrap metal about 1914 (Gilbert, p. 2). 1907 "Sled lifts had been employed on the slopes of Bodele in the Voralberg region of Austria as early as 1907" (Gilbert, p. 4). 1908 Haulback tows used in Europe as early as 1908 (Allen, 109, note 20 on pg 203, from patent application, March 16, 1908). 1910 "A tow to haul toboggans was ready for the Truckee CA carnival in 1910 and then was used later by skiers following the formation of the Truckee Ski Club in 1913".

We would like to thank our customers best to build the best ropeways in the world. Absolute focus on quality, constant and business partners for this trust in us and the co-operation. innovation, competence and partnerships based on trust are the pillars of our business culture and therefore lived reality every single day. We do not take this co-operation and partnership for granted. On the contrary, it must be fostered constantly and confi rmed by extraordinary performance.

  • Chair Lift Challenge
    Chair Lift Challenge Provided by TryEngineering - www.tryengineering.org L e s s o n F o c u s Lesson focuses on unique challenges in transportation engineering, such as devising a method for skiers or hikers to get to the top of a mountain. Students work in teams to design a "chair lift" out of everyday items that can transport a ping pong ball in a chair of their own design from the bottom of a "valley" to the top of a "mountain" along a clothes line or wire without the ball falling out. Students design their chairlift and chair on paper, execute their design, test it, reflect on the challenge, and share their experiences with the class. Lesson Synopsis The "Chair Lift Challenge" explores how engineers develop transportation systems to operate in different and sometimes challenging environments. Students work in teams to design a chair lift made out of everyday materials that can carry a ping pong ball up a rope line and back down in a controlled manner so that the ball does not fall out of a chair the team has also designed. They sketch their plans, consider material selection, build their system, test it, reflect on the challenge, and present their experiences to their class. Y e a r L e v e l s Year 8 – Term 3. Objectives Learn about engineering design and redesign. Learn how engineering can help solve society's challenges. Learn about teamwork and problem solving. Anticipated Learner Outcomes As a result of this activity, students should develop an understanding of: civil engineering engineering design teamwork Lesson Activities Students explore how engineers work to provide safe transportation options in different environments and climates.

  • HORIZON SCHOOL DIVISION Policy Code HICA Attachment K SAFETY
    HORIZON SCHOOL DIVISION Policy Code HICA Attachment K SAFETY PLAN REQUIREMENTS FOR DOWNHILL SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING (Suitable for Grades 4-12) IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY PLAN REQUIREMENTS SPECIFIC TO SKIING, THE SAFETY PLAN MUST CONSIDER GUIDELINES FOR THE FOLLOWING: Supervision A. Hill Bottom Supervisor(s): There must be at least two supervisors who remain at the hill bottom for the purpose of: a) Supervising any students who may be taking a break or can no longer ski b) Responding to any emergent situation that may require phone calls or transportation ONE OF THE BOTTOM HILL SUPERVISORS MUST HAVE EMERGENCY FIRST AID B. On Hill Supervisors All students must ski under the direct supervision of one of the adult supervisors on the hill. Students should e clustered in close-ability groups with a supervisor that can ski at that level. It is understood that there may be variance in time to complete a run, but the group must meet at the hill bottom after each run before proceeding to the lift for another run. Suggested Guidelines for On-Hill Groups: 1:10 ratio (grades 4-6) of certified instructors/supervisors to students 1:10 ratio (grades 7-9) of certified instructors/supervisors to students 1:15 ratio (grades 10-12) of certified instructors/supervisors to students Supervisors’ duties should be clearly outlined (e.g. skiing with the assigned group each run) Teacher/instructor must postpone activity if there is an indication of inclement weather severe enough to put student safety at risk Instructional Considerations PRIOR TO THE DAY OF THE EVENT: Students must become familiar with the Alpine Responsibility Code and “School Trip Safety Guidelines” (attached) Students must be informed of the ski area boundaries.
