Wilson Utility performed seasonal snow patrol and aerial snowpack survey operations in mountainous terrain to support regional utilities and water resource partners. Flights assessed snow accumulation, access conditions, and infrastructure exposure to inform runoff planning and grid reliability efforts. The mission required precision flying in variable winter weather and high-elevation environments.

Wilson conducted low-level aerial surveys across remote utility corridors, evaluating snowpack levels and identifying potential access or infrastructure risks. Crews coordinated with agency partners to collect and report timely data, operating safely within limited winter weather windows.

The operation enabled proactive runoff planning, improved crew safety by identifying hazardous conditions in advance, and supported reliable utility service during seasonal transition periods.
