“We’re very excited to have this superior tool on the mountain for our guests. Sometimes Panorama has a weather phenomenon known as a cloud inversion, where the bottom of the village has dense cloud cover and the top of the mountain is clear with sparkling sunshine,” says Ken Wilder, Marketing Director for Panorama Mountain Village. “This camera provides skiers and riders with an incredibly clear picture of what the weather is actually doing up here!”

The camera faces north towards Panorama’s signature peak Mount Nelson, and was mounted to the top station of the new Champagne Express Quad on December 20. The camera’s crystal-clear picture reveals the weather in the upper alpine as well as views of the craggy Purcell peaks surrounding the resort.
