Abstract

This research focuses on the preliminary planning and design of an Alpine skiing lift system in the Mount Carleton Provincial Park, in the province of New Brunswick, Canada. Linear programming (LP) model and discrete-event simulation are combined to design ski lifts selection alternatives and evaluate their service performances based on mountain valley topographical data, skier population features, and ski lift technical specifications. LP model is used to solve the ski lifts selection problem while discrete-event simulation is used to evaluate service quality indicators such as skier waiting times, ski lift queues length, and ski lift utilisation rates in the ski resort early design phase.
