Ski resort management system

A management system for a ski resort comprising a plurality of ski runs, a plurality of lift systems, an artificial snowmaking system comprising a plurality of snow generators, and a plurality of snow groomers, the management system comprising:

• an operator terminal comprising a display device and a display interface;
• a mass storage unit comprising a system database;
• a data acquisition system configured to:
• receive data from a plurality of telemetry systems respectively associated with the plurality of lift systems, the artificial snowmaking system and the plurality of snow groomers, and
• store in the system database:
• (i) first data from the plurality of lift systems, (ii) second data from the artificial snowmaking system, and (iii) third data from the plurality of snow groomers;
• and
• a processing station comprising a selector configured to set a display mode of the display interface of the operator terminal between:
• (i) a first mode of alternatively displaying the first data relative to a selected one of the plurality of lift systems, the second data relative to a selected one of the plurality of snow generators, and the third data relative to a selected one of the plurality of snow groomers, (ii) a second mode of alternatively displaying, in an aggregated form, the first data relative to all of the plurality of lift systems, the second data relative to all of the plurality of snow generators, and the third data relative to all of the plurality of snow groomers, and (iii) a third mode of displaying, in an aggregated form, the first data, the second data and the third data.
