Installation: $1100
Operating costs: 6 yrs @ ~$180/yr: $1100
Total: $2200 (2020-06-08 update: target achieved !)

Stretch Goal 1 - $2900 - Extra sensors for weather nerds (pressure, humidity, cloudbase, rain, solar radiation).
Stretch Goal 2 - $5100 - A second Holfuy wind station for the LZ.
If these stations improve your flying experience please consider contributing to other stations in the network: Fernie , Elko and Wasa . You can contribute to the Invermere (Mt Swansea) station by purchasing a CVHGPS membership. Learn more about the Columbia Valley Wind Station Project .
