Leica iCON Alpine – 3D snow depth measurement and snow management.
Accurate and efficient snow height measurement
To make snow grooming as efficient as possible, it’s important to know the exact snow depth under the blade attachments when processing snow volumes. Leica iCON alpine delivers real-time data on the display in the cabin. This enables operators to respond to snow conditions immediately and perfectly prepare slopes. This not only saves time, cost and adds safety to slopes, but also reduces water and energy needed for slope preparation, dramatically decreasing the customer’s ecological footprint.
Office visualisation with web-based solution
Leica iCON Alpine is a complete management solution for ski slope infrastructure. The system allows exchange of all snow height information and current working status of the ski slope simultaneously among all snow groomer operators in real time via Leica ConX. The data can also be transferred in real time via a web server to and from any third party GIS snow management solution, such as Alpine PRO, for detailed analysis of snow height and management.
System installation
The Leica iCON Alpine system can be installed on slope groomers from all manufacturers. Selected manufacturers offer their vehicles already outfitted with the required pre-installation set-up for Leica iCON alpine. Existing vehicles can easily be retrofitted.
