R.M. Young Company, a stalwart in meteorological instrumentation, is kicking off a three-part webinar series with a deep dive into SNOdar, its latest LiDAR-based snow depth sensor. The inaugural session, “Reimagining Snowfall: Introduction to SNOdar,” is set for August 21, 2025, with two time slots—8:00 AM and 1:00 PM EDT—to accommodate global audiences. This isn’t just another product launch; it’s a masterclass on how LiDAR is reshaping snow measurement, and it’s a must-watch for anyone working in winter weather monitoring.
The webinar will be co-led by Andy Oliver, Director of Product & Applications Management, and Ed DiFilippo, Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing. Both bring a wealth of experience to the table, and their expertise will be on full display as they break down SNOdar’s capabilities, technology, and real-world applications. “We’re not just talking about a new tool—we’re showing how it changes the game,” says Oliver. “From solar farms to ski resorts, SNOdar is designed to deliver reliable data in even the harshest winter conditions.”
The session will cover a range of topics, including a brief history of snow measurement methods, how SNOdar works, and how it stacks up against traditional techniques. Attendees can expect a detailed look at key technical features, setup best practices, and practical use cases across solar, ski, and environmental sectors. DiFilippo adds, “This isn’t just about the tech—it’s about the impact. We’ll be sharing real-world examples of how SNOdar supports safe operations and data-driven decisions in snow-prone regions.”
One of the standout features of the webinar will be the live polls and Q&A portion, giving attendees a chance to engage directly with the experts. The session will also preview upcoming features, including future eSWE (estimated snow water equivalent) functionality, offering a glimpse into the future of snow monitoring.
This webinar is the first in a three-part series, providing professionals in environmental science, research, utilities, and winter operations with timely insights ahead of the winter season. Whether you’re managing a ski resort, maintaining solar arrays, or conducting environmental research, this series is designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools to stay ahead of the curve.
Registration is free and now open, and all registrants will receive access to an on-demand recording after the event. This ensures flexibility for those who can’t attend live, making it easier than ever to stay informed and up-to-date.
