Last night was our first real snowmaking night of the season. Our crew fully tested our system and did make some snow. Conditions were not perfect but the guns were running for about 12 hours. It's challenging and a slow process to make sure right now with mid-20 temps, warm ground, warm river water etc. However, last night was a big step in the right direction with some better nights of snowmaking in the forecast, the Village is going to turn very white...very soon.
We will not be open this weekend. Right now, our hope and plan is to open late next week or weekend. It's still way too early to give any more specific information than that because it all depends on the weather.
From all of us at Welch Village, have a Happy Thanksgiving. We are thankful for colder weather, our awesome employees (especially our snowmakers), and for all of you who make the Village the best place to spend winter. It won't be long now...winter is almost here.
