这Idre Fjäll resortin central Sweden recently hosted for the fourth time the Ski Cross World Cup arranged by the International Ski Federation, FIS. Ski cross is a fast-paced ski sport with rapid turns and high jumps where more than one skier racing down the course ski simultaneously. The sport is well-known for being public-friendly and fun to watch.

Building the ski cross course

这图标高山雪管理解决方案来自Leica Geosystems用于准备滑雪横路和测量跳跃的确切高度并转弯以确保安全公平的竞争。该课程的设计模型由安装在雪地美容器上的机器控制解决方案读取，并基于夏季进行的裸露地形测量。可以计算确切的积雪高度以构建课程。

“我们even used the iCON alpine solution to measure the heights of the saved snow piles, and we also used UAVs [Unmanned Aerial Vehicles] to calculate exactly how much saved snow we had and how much technical snow we needed to produce,”IdreFjäll的雪地美容公司运营商JonasPålsson解释说。

Pålsson与Icon Alpine解决方案合作了几年 -Idre Fjäll was the first ski resort in Scandinavia to adopt the 3D snow depth measurement and snow management solution from Leica Geosystems。

“我一直在常规斜坡和步道上使用图标高山解决方案。我使用该解决方案来测量深度，并尽早计划区域是否需要分配更多的积雪。这不仅节省了宝贵的时间，还节省了成本，因为可以更准确地计算出雪的需求，”explains Pålsson.

IdreFjäll从位于顶部的本地GNSS基站开始。到ensure 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.

在IDREFJäll上实施环保技术

这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毫米双层地毯的感觉。

“This year we have saved a total of260,000立方米的雪,”explains Lars Fagrell, operations manager at Idre Fjäll.“我们saved the snow from last year’s ski cross course, and even though 2018 was a record warm summer, we still had snow to build the course with less use of technical snow.”

Idre Fjäll is adopting different technological solutions, such as the iCON alpine solution, to stay environmentally-friendly a be a snow-sure destination.

“我们produce a total of1,500,000 cubic metres of technical snow每个季节，”费格雷尔说。“如果我们可以save 10 to 20 per cent of snow从上一年开始，这意味着我们的成本较大。Leica Icon Alpine解决方案有助于我们控制雪量，因此我们可以将精确的雪高度放在技术和节省的积雪中。” </p>

Efficient snow management

IdreFjäll还今年还举办了Speed Ski世界杯，并为此目的创建了最陡峭的曲目“ Chocken”或“ Shock”。速度滑雪者可以达到每小时200多公里的速度– this requires a100 per cent build and groomed slope。到create the steepest groomed ski slope in Scandinavia, Idre Fjäll is using the iCON alpine solution.

主持大型比赛需要有效的雪管理helps to extend the skiing season for the entire resort。IdreFjäll配备了Icon Alpine解决方案，准备打开越野滑雪道和早期的高山斜坡，冬季将持续到夏季活动接管后复活节后一周。
