Summary Sheet
Our team was tasked with designing a ski resort set to be built over the Wasatch Peaks Ranch property. Specifically, the resort had to have plenty of trails, main slopes of varying lengths, at least 160 total kilometers of slopes and trails, and a slope distribution approximating 20% green circles, 40% blue squares, and 40% black diamonds. We obtained GIS data of the resort location and used gradient vector fields and Mathematica’s morphological image processing capabilities to mathematically determine the locations of “fall lines,” the safest and most optimal ski slopes on the property. The robustness and stability of our model was determined by running an agent-based watershed analysis within SURFER to simulate fall lines. Through visual inspection of the few flat regions, we added in ski lifts and ski lift stations, marking where the slopes would start and end. Overlaying these three maps on top of each other allowed us to identify the most ideal paths: ones following the slope. As did many Olympic venues before ours, we want to showcase the beauty of the American landscape for the world by making as little alterations to the natural landscape as possible: all model and ski slope designs were built using existing fall lines and around landforms to provide for an eco-friendly and cost-effective ski slope.
We tested our design by comparing it to other selected resorts in North America. Our metric took into account three main factors: land per lift, slopes per lift, and slope difficulty distribution. By comparing them to optimal values, the metric produces a rating for each ski resort. We also created a computational agent-based model in NetLogo which allowed us to manipulate variables and test responses of our resort to stochastic variations in skier speed and lift distribution.
Our final solution consists of a total of 199.4 km of path, with a distribution of 22.72% green circle, 38.50% blue square, and 38.77% black diamond. The metric ranks Wasatch Peaks Ranch fourth among the sampled North American resorts. Wasatch Peaks has potential to become a highly desirable ski resort, as well as a strong contender to host of the 2026 Olympics.
