A while back, we posted an illustration that was produced for this case. This is the animation.

Ski resort towns like Dillon can get a fair amount of snow during the winter. This particular gas station was perched on a windy ridgeline that was prone to snow buildup on the parking lot side of the store.

On a bright morning, following a snowy storm, a patron walked out of the convenience store and was struck by an avalanche of drifted snow from the roof above the door. She broke a bone in her leg and her hip.

Mountain Graphix created a 3D model of the store based on photographs. We then animated a pile of cubes using a physical model to illustrate the forces of a roof avalanche on a human-like biped.

In states around the nation, where snow skiing is a local pastime, there are ski areas and resorts that continue to thrive. But in those same states, there are those intriguing ghost ski hills that are no longer in operation. Tuxedo Ridge, in New York State, is one of those unique cases where the hill is no longer open but litigation is still ongoing years later.

In this case, a young rider, skiing on the bunny hill with family members, hit a Kid Alert Warning figure that was placed near the lift maze to warn all skiers to slow down. The child injured her leg and her parents brought a lawsuit against Tuxedo Ridge.
Mountain Graphix recreated the accident scene based on drone video footage, laser scan data, and family photos that were taken at the scene earlier that day by the plaintiffs' family.

Videos about the ghost ski hill can be found online. It's intriguing to witness the lifts, snowmaking towers and buildings of a little mountain resort covered in vines in the Ramapo Mountains.

At Mountain High Ski Resort, in California, a young lady, following the encouragement of her boyfriend, used the start deck of a terrain park as an airborne feature and injured her back upon landing.

Mountain Graphix recreated the ski trails of Mountain High in the vicinity of the accident using a Digital Elevation Model, ortho-imagery, investigation photos and a land survey of the start deck. Among other demonstratives, we animated a camera from eye level approaching the terrain park at a variety of different speeds.

Deer Valley Resort hosts an impressive array of Mountain Bike Trails for summer guests and homeowners. While the resort has a bike park dedicated to aerial features and rails, some of the forest trails also have fun little features that riders may choose to ride.

In this case, a guest chose to ride a teeter-totter feature where a biker rides up an inclined ramp and, as his weight passes the balance point, the ramp rocks forward, providing a ramp down. As the plaintiff rode past the balance point, which is also the highest point of the feature, he accidentally steered his front tire off the ramp and fell forward onto his head and torso.

Mountain Graphix did a site visit with a group of biomechanical engineers and test riders. We helped film test riders biking over the feature with a high-speed camera. We took a laser scan survey of the area and also helped capture the bikers' motion with a motion-capture suit. Later, Mountain Graphix put together a set of illustrations showing a variety of distances to nearby landmarks such as trees or prominent rocks.

Olympic Park, Park City Utah. A participant in an alpine slide ride, tipped over on a turn and injured himself.

Mountain Graphix and a biomechanical engineering firm conducted a site visit to Park City to do a laser scan survey of the entire slide, use a drone to film a surrogate rider down the track, as well as film the ride with a GoPro camera mounted to the surrogate rider's head.

The laser scans were registered (or aligned and oriented) together to create a continuous 3d representation of the track. Then, the GoPro video was video-matched with a virtual camera in the 3d space so that a speed of the surrogate rider could be obtained.

Heavenly Ski Resort, near Lake Tahoe, had a truly unique zipline and zipline chair return shuttle. A guest who wanted to ride the zipline would ride up on the chairlift, get strapped into a zipline chair, and ride down. After the rider exited, the chair was then pulled back up the zipline cable with a separate nylon tow rope.

Mountain Graphix reconstructed the bottom terminal of the zipline based on photographs and measurements. An animation was created (we'll show in a later post) to illustrate how the zipline chairs were pulled back up to the top.

When teaching a young one how to ski, an instructor will often say, "Look where you want to go, because your skis will follow." While not 100% accurate on all occasions, it's a good rule-of-thumb for every level of skier. An employee at a Colorado ski area was hauling 2 patrol toboggans back up the mountain with a snow machine. A young skier, traveling downhill on the same ski run, appeared to lock in on the snow machine and skied toward it. Fortunately, she struck one of the toboggans rather than the machine, but sustained an injury.

Mountain Graphix performed a laser scan survey of the ski trail. The combined laser scans, or point cloud, was used to video match the motion of the family member videoing the skier, the route of the young skier, and the route of the snowmobile. From these matches, the speed of the snowmobile was determined and an animation was created from the perspective of the video camera. In this particular case, a mesh was not created; we utilized the point cloud itself as the visual element.

New Mexico Highway Patrol did an outstanding job documenting a multi-vehicle accident that occurred in the early hours on I-25. The initial collision involved a relatively small rear-end collision between two passenger vehicles. One of the vehicles was disabled in a Southbound travel lane with it's lights inoperative. Minutes later, a passenger bus traveling Southbound encountered the darkened vehicle and rolled onto its side in an effort to avoid a collision. Finally, a semi-truck struck the under-carriage of the bus.

Mountain Graphix utilized the accident documentation to recreate the scene of the accident. The skid marks and oil spill helped determine the paths of the bus and truck before and after the collision

A number of years ago, Mountain Graphix submitted a bid to do a Mountain Coaster Safety Video for coaster operators across Colorado. This short animation was a quick and simple demo to establish how the completed animation could look. It contained almost no character movements but covered some of the safety points from a Coaster Safety Manual.

We believe that the idea of quick safety videos that participants watch before signing the waiver is still a good idea. It reminds or teaches participants the basics while highlighting safety concerns. It can give operators an additional tool to reduce avoidable injuries.

Mountain Graphix worked on a number of projects for the Water Sports Industry Association (WSIA), including a set of safety illustrations for boaters that were included in a water safety handbook.

The purpose of these illustrations was to emphasize the potential hazard of carbon monoxide getting trapped in and around idling boats, particularly in areas like a partially enclosed Bimini or near a dock.
