Q: What does the Weather Sensor page show?
A: The weather sensor page features readouts from up to six sensors on the mountain going up the ridgeline. This indicates the differences as elevation increases. The map at the top of the page shows the location of each sensor on the mountain. Sensor data can be found directly below the reference map, including the elevation of each sensor.
Q: Where do you put the moguls in the summer?
A: Moguls are created when a run is left ungroomed and skiers and boarders making turns through the powder cut up the run. The turns cut grooves into the run and the accumulation of grooves turns into ‘bumps’ that are known as moguls.
