POWDER ski toboggan drone carrier
Avalanche prevention, control, and scanning are crucial to protect skiers and snowboarders from the dangers of variable snow conditions. In recent years, drones have been increasingly utilized for avalanche control. These drones have cameras and sensors that help with surveying, risk assessment, monitoring, and search and rescue missions. However, operating drones in a variable snow environment present several challenges, such as temperature control, battery sensitivity, ergonomics, and setup. Currently, drones are transported using backpacks and cases, which can be cumbersome and make it harder to get them to the top of the mountain.
An innovative solution has been developed to enhance ski patrollers’ efficiency, setup, and ease of preventing avalanches when using drones to scan mountain areas. The POWDER ski toboggan drone carrier is a product that addresses these challenges. Its features include glove-friendly ergonomics, snowmobile and chair-lift attachment points, heated battery storage, and climate-acclimated drone storage. The ski toboggan drone carrier makes transporting, setting up, and scanning avalanche-prone areas easier. This innovation will require fewer patrollers, less time spent on preventative measures, and a more seamless user experience for these dedicated professionals.
