Misson Statement
Currently, many ski resorts around the world operate below their maximum efficiency. One of the ways we can help optimize their operation is through the modeling of their ski lift systems, where there are large costs that are incurred with inefficient operation practices.
The Skilift Optimizer 2009 is a highly flexible and scalable computer-simulated model that can be fit to a wide variety of ski resorts around the country. For example, it could be used to run a simulation of the highly complex Mt. Bachelor ski resort, whose resort network is shown below:
If Mt. Bachelor were to consider modifying the structure of their resort (i.e. add lifts, shut down lifts earlier in the day, change lift capacities, etc.), the Skilift Optimizer 2009 could simulate the impact that such actions would have on skilift traffic and congestion. By revealing the true trouble spots on the resort, Skilift Optimizer 2009 helps resort owners make more informed decisions and realize potentially large cost savings.
