In a follow-up to a an earlier post, Heavenly Ski Resort, near Lake Tahoe, had an innovative zipline and zipline chair return shuttle. Two participants could race against each other down the ziplines in a seat harness connected to a trolley that rides on the cable. Once the participants were unloaded at the bottom terminal, both zipline seats and trolleys were shuttled back up to the top zipline terminal via a nylon rope tow.

Mountain Graphix recreated each component of the zipline system based on blueprints, measurements and photos. The resort wanted to be able to show how the system worked in an incident where the nylon rope, used to haul the trolleys back up, failed.

A semi-truck exiting a parking lot clipped a parked Lexus with the back wheels of the trailer. The incident was indirectly recorded by a forward-facing camera in the sedan. The footage shows the tractor and front portion of the semi-truck, but only the bump and the Lexus’s forward movement when it was struck.

Mountain Graphix was asked to conduct a laser scan survey of the street where the incident occurred. In 3ds Max, we video-matched the dash cam footage with the point cloud and used the fence posts on the right as reference points to match the Lexus’s forward motion.

For those who have hiked or skied The Legend, Arapahoe Basin, this 3D model should be a familiar sight. This is one of our early projects using 3ds Max. An NCAA ski racer lost control on a GS practice course that was set up on the High Noon trail. As the racer rounded a gate on the right side of the course, he lost control, slid into the forest, and was injured.

Mountain Graphix built a 3D model of the lower mountain trails based on Digital Elevation Models (DEM), an orthoimage, point cloud data, and investigation photos. We created a few ways to visualize the race course with an overview, a first-person POV, and an interactive presentation that allowed the attorney to jump to different locations on the course.

On a rural Front Range road between Greeley and Fort Collins, in Colorado, two young men were driving home after dark in an SUV. Ahead of them on the same road, a hay-baling machine was being towed by a tractor after a late day in the field. The baler was older, with one rear light out. Although it had a triangle reflector in the rear, the SUV driver did not, or was unable to, discern that the baler was on the road against the backdrop of background lights. The SUV struck the baler at full speed, causing major injuries to both boys in the vehicle.

Mountain Graphix recreated a 3d scene of the accident based on satellite imagery and GIS data. We lit the scene based on a report by a lighting expert. The final product was an animation and a set of illustrations showing what the driver of the SUV would have seen just prior to the accident.

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.
