Deer Valley Use Technology

An article over on SkiPress is that Deer Valley is going to put new technologies to use over the summer to help riders find the pow. Using some GPS and stuff... quote from the article:

But before skiers even hit the hill, Deer Valley’s new Snow Scan Ground Penetrating Radar, combined with a GPS system, will provide color coded maps of snow depth on any part of the mountain, so that it will be even easier to find the best powder.
Not much else to the article though. Anyone know more details?

They also offer GPS systems for tracking your skiing during the day. I posted about Deer Valley using Youtube to promote their freestyle competition.

Erin at Deer Valley (their PR director) is way cool and is very hip to new technology. Plus she is super friendly. I called her up to ask her about Youtube, etc., and she spent about 20 minutes on the phone BSing about it.
