One view for mountain operations teams, at the Domaines Skiables de France congress

The Numerisat stand at the Domaines Skiables de France congress: the ELIAN 3D digital twin of a ski resort on the big screen, laptops running the ELIAN demo on the table.

A lift operator does not need another dashboard. They need to know where to look.

This week we were at the Domaines Skiables de France congress in Valence, on the Numerisat stand, with the European Smart Mountain 5G project.

On the screen: a 3D digital twin of a ski resort. Lifts, stations and weather stations in a single view, green when all is well and flagged the moment something is wrong.

ELIAN digital twin: a chairlift highlighted in green between the pine trees, with the live readings of the summit weather mast in a side panel. ELIAN digital twin seen from above: the whole ski area, its slopes, forest and base-station buildings in one 3D scene.

Next to it, camera AI running locally on the edge, counting skiers, snowboards and queues in real time.

The question we were asked most: “What if the connection drops?” Everything keeps running. Detection runs on site, not in a third party’s cloud.

Our thanks to everyone who stopped by, and to Numerisat for hosting us. It follows the work we did with Numerisat in July, when we brought edge computing into the Smart Mountain 5G project.

A question for operations teams: what should you see first, the lifts, the snowmaking or the queues? Tell us.
