Weather Measurement in Extreme Conditions - Whistler Mountain
(Products: Ventus-UMB)
Whistler Blackcomb mountain is a premiere winter resort in British Columbia Canada. Some months ago our subsidiary "LufftUSA" installed the first Ventus ultrasonic anemometer atop a main ski lift on the Whistler mountain. The first winter storm passed leaving the entire mountain and all mechanical equipment covered in snow and ice... except the Ventus-UMB.
The Ventus-UMB continued to give accurate wind speed and wind direction data through the storm. Now there is a plan to install more Ventus-UMB sensors at the Peak chair near the summit of Whistler mountain.
