Giving a ski resort’s directional arrows communicating electronics can provide skiers with the information they need to make decisions on the slopes. Skiers can find out in real time if a trail is closed, how long the lift lines are, or how crowded a trail or area is. The result is greater comfort and safety for skiers. The skier experience is also improved. This new technology also helps smooth out skier traffic across a resort, which improves resource management (grooming and snowmaking) for the resort operator.

L'histoire du produit

The idea of equipping directional arrows with smart capabilities is not new. Lumiplanâ€"along with several resorts seeking ways to innovateâ€"had been thinking about it for years. However, the technology was too expensive. The company’s collaboration with the CEA and the support of the Easytech program led to the development of a suitable technical solution. The solution developed is self-powered and environmentally-friendly insofar as it does not require any construction work. In addition, the electronics can be installed on existing equipment.
