November: Scanning the reshaped snow site

Well, all the snow from our two intrepid piles is gone, finally. Surprisingly, small icy chunks hung on until late October, long enough to see the first snow flakes of fall! Now, however, is prep time for next season.

The edge of the pit – wood chips in back, awaiting emplacement! The trusty four-wheeler shows how massive the pit has become.

The COC has decided to use Site 2, or the “Pond” Site as their Snow Depot. They prepped and reshaped it to fit a large amount of snow, and Landon and I went up to scan it! The pit can hold many thousand cubic meters of snow, all dependent on how high they pile the snow.

I find “tie points” so that the LiDAR can match up scans.

It’ll be exciting to see next seasons’ snow-making process; they need to create a water pipeline and install anchors for their airless snow guns.

In the mean time, I’ll be heading to a conference in December to present our 2018 data!
