In the last year, we were able – by the way, still as the only ropeway manufacturer worldwide – to realize all types of ropeway systems from the surface lift to the 3S installation. Let it be the fi rst mobile surface lift in Steibis, Germany; the world-record Michael Doppelmayr 3S lift “Peak 2 Peak“ in Whistler Mountain, Canada; the world‘s fi rst chairlift with chairs that can be used by 7 children and only one accompanying adult in Serfaus, Austria or the fi rst of four planned urban gondolas in Algeria.

  • 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 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".
