为世界杯降雪

作者：Karina Lumholt

Theidrefjäll度假胜地瑞典中部最近举办了第四次由国际滑雪联合会FIS安排的滑雪十字架世界杯。滑雪十字架是一项快节奏的滑雪运动，迅速转弯和跳高跳跃，同时有一个以上的滑雪者在路线上滑雪。这项运动以公共友好和有趣的观看而闻名。

Building the ski cross course

The图标高山雪管理解决方案from Leica Geosystems was used to prepare the ski cross course andmeasure the exact heights of the jumpsand turns to ensure a safe and fair competition. The design model of the course is read by the machine control solution installed on the snow groomer and based on the bare terrain measurements taken during the summer. The exact snow heights can be calculated to build the course.

“我们甚至使用图标高山解决方案来测量节省的雪堆的高度，我们还使用了无人机（无人驾驶飞机）来准确计算我们拥有多少节省的雪以及需要生产多少技术雪，”IdreFjäll的Snow Groumer运营商JonasPålsson解释说。

Pålsson与Icon Alpine解决方案合作了几年 -IDREFJäll是斯堪的纳维亚半岛第一个采用3D雪深度测量和雪地管理解决方案的滑雪胜地s.

“我使用图标高山解决方案the time on the regular slopes and trails. I use the solution to measure depths and plan early on if an area needs to have more snow allocated. This saves not only valuable time but also costs because the need for snow production can be calculated more exactly,”explains Pålsson.

Idre Fjäll started with a local GNSS base station placed at the very top. Toensure continuous connectivity and precise measurements对于机器，度假村现在订阅HxGN SmartNet, the world’s largest reference station network, as part of the Leica iCON alpine solution.

Implementing environmentally-friendly technology on Idre Fjäll

The planning of a ski cross competition starts long before the tournament takes place. Every year, Idre Fjäll saves snow from one season to another under a2-3毫米双层毛毡地毯。

“This year we have saved a total of260,000立方米的雪,”IdreFjäll的运营经理Lars Fagrell解释说。“我们从去年的滑雪横路线中节省了雪，尽管2018年是创纪录的夏天，但我们仍然有雪来建造该路线，以较少的技术降雪。”

IDREFJäll正在采用不同的技术解决方案，例如图标Alpine解决方案，以保持环境友好的态度为雪地目的地。

“Weproduce a total of1,500,000 cubic metres of technical snow每个季节，”费格雷尔说。“If we can节省10％至20％的雪from the previous year, it means a very big cost reduction for us. The Leica iCON alpine solution helps us to have control over the snow volumes, so we can place the exact snow heights of technical and saved snow.”</p>

有效的雪管理

Idre Fjäll also hosted the Speed Ski World Cup this year and created the steepest prepared track ‘Chocken’, or ‘shock’, for this purpose. Speedskiers can reach a speed of more than 200 kilometres per hour- 这需要一个100 per cent build and groomed slope。为了在斯堪的纳维亚州创建最陡峭的修饰滑雪坡，IdreFjäll正在使用图标Alpine溶液。

有效的雪管理is required for hosting large competitions andhelps to extend the skiing season for the entire resort。Geared with iCON alpine solution, Idre Fjäll was ready to open the cross-country ski trails and alpine slopes already in early autumn and the winter season will run until one week after Easter when summer activities take over.
