Mid-February Snowmaking

We turned on all of the tower snow guns last night and we also made snow last week as well.  One of the advantages of investing in additional tower guns like we did this past year is making snow during times like this.  Yes, the power and efficiency of tower guns helps make more snow in the fall and open runs earlier in November & December.  However, after rain events like we experienced this past week, it's pretty efficient for our team to turn on the snowmaking system with more fixed tower guns rather than placing portable guns.  We did add a couple of the portable guns in key locations last night too, but most, if not all of the tower guns we have around the resort were running most of the night last night and into this morning.  

Our grooming team is out now grooming in the fresh snow and we are planning to have great snow conditions heading into this President's holiday weekend.  Don't let the spring-like weather from this past week fool you into thinking that winter is coming to and end.  We still have a deep base of snow and we plan to have the Village open with great skiing & riding for several more weeks.  February and March are probably the best months to get out and enjoy the Village.
