Intro:
TDA Technology Investors UK creates snow groomer simulators to train operators using virtual reality (VR) technology. These simulators provide the ability to replicate accidents and other irregular situations that may occur at ski resorts. We will be offering these simulators to ski resorts, as well as snow groomer plants and independent training academies.

To create a realistic VR experience, we take an actual snow groomer cabin, incorporate VR visualization, and install it on a motion platform (with either 3 or 6 degrees of freedom). Furthermore, we perform electronic modifications to the cabin's equipment and control panels to ensure that the signals from the controls are transmitted to the VR system.

The software comprises an accurate model of the snow groomer subsystems' behavior, including the engine, tracks, suspension, and operation during malfunctions. Additionally, it includes a realistic virtual model of a ski resort that enables training for accidents and challenging situations at specific ski parks. Most improtantly, the simulator replicates real-time snow behavior in a realistic manner, which is crucial for adapting to various training scenarios.
Ski resorts survey: 

We would like to kindly ask for your opinion on the investment potential of the snow groomer simulator that utilizes innovative technology to enhance quality, reduce costs, and mitigate unnecessary risks at ski resorts.
Please, provide the answers regarding your experience. 
Maintenance challenges
1. How often do you encounter situations where the snow groomer needs repairs or servicing during a ski season, on average?
2. What percentage of the damage resulted from mistakes or improper usage by the snow groomer operator?
3. What was the total expenditure on snow groomer maintenance costs on average per ski season?
4. Describe the inconvenience caused by the snow groomer being out of use due to maintenance   
Personnel challenges  
5. On average, a snow groomer consumes 25 liters of diesel per hour. How many hours were spent on training new operators or testing the skills of experienced operators, on average, per ski season?
6. How often have you encountered situations where operators have had to work additional hours due to malfunctions or accidents, on average per ski season?
7. How much extra did you have to pay because of the operators' additional hours?
Costs challenges
8. Will you be buying fewer new snow groomers in the next three years?
9. What percentage of snow groomers in your ski park will be over 4-5 years old in the next three years?
Simulator opportunities
10. Would you be interested in a snow groomer simulator that includes a 3D model of your ski resort for localized operator training?
11. Please describe the scenarios where you think a simulator could be useful and beneficial for snow groomer operators. For instance:
- Training operators in techniques that vary depending on the snow condition, from slush to fluffy snow.
- Mastering skills to predict the correct actions near the slope edges, based on the snow conditions.
- Building the operator's confidence in performing more challenging operations such as grooming with the winch.

Please add any additional use cases you can think of.
12. By way of comparison, how much would you be willing to spend on a well-designed program to train operators for local conditions?
