2025 Data Collection
Efforts in 2024
- More data to review compared to past years
- Camera and RFID data were collected continuously through the season with video analysis software that included advanced AI capabilities
- More RFID tags distributed (4,000 in 2023 vs 11,000 in 2024)
- Restricting rental tubing on Buffalo Bill Saturday made tubing traffic look like a typical weekend instead of one of the busiest days of the year.
- The decision to restrict outfitter rentals in 2021 has stopped growth in rental tubes, any growth has been personal tube usage.
- Total number of tubers for the season counted by the Billy Drew camera: 114,884
2025 Proposed Efforts
- With two years of more reliable data collected 2025 season can be compared to 2024.
- Continue to limit tube rentals per day
-
City Council will consider if they want to
- Not restrict tube rentals this year based on special event or City resources
- Restrict tube rentals on the Saturday of Buffalo Bill’s Day again
- Or restrict tube rentals on any additional days of special events or limited City resources.
