Happy Thanksgiving Snowmaking Update 2025

Happy Thanksgiving from our family & entire WV team to you! 

I just did a walking tour of our snowmaking operations and things are starting to change in the Village, in a good way.  There are challenges every year during early season snowmaking operations.  The river water is warm because of the warm fall weather.  There are leaks in the snowmaking pipes that slow things down.  And we sometimes blow electric transformers like we did last night.  Huge shoutout to the crew from Dakota Electric who locked in and installed a new one last night for us. 

With our new chairlift, we decided to modify our opening weekend snowmaking push a bit.  We are also able to adjust to this new strategy because of our investment in tower guns over the past few seasons and adding water capacity with a new pump.  We decided to use the majority of our 33 portable guns on the areas we want to open first.  These are additional guns to the many tower guns that are already on these slopes.  Runs like Lookout, Wild Finale, Sweeny, Fowl Play, Paula's Party/Heidi's Hollow (new beginner slope area) are getting absolutely buried right now!  We also have all tower guns going as well on key areas like Harley's Hollow, Dan's Dive, Bakkelyka and more. 

As always, are goal is to open for you with as quality of a skiing & riding experience as possible.  And yes, we will allow our valued season passholders first chance to hit the slopes first on opening day.  An opening day that will likely feature THREE quad chairlifts (at least)!  

Stay tuned as we will have an opening update sometime tomorrow or early Saturday.  The next 7-10 days look very cold and we are thankful for this cold snap and the exciting snowmaking ahead. 

We are also thankful for all of our employees and for all of you that make this place so special.  Again, Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours and it might be a good idea to start getting your gear ready, opening day is not far away.

  1. I never thought I would have a story about playing the lottery that was worth telling. I had been playing the lottery for a long time and buying tickets regularly, but had never won anything significant. Then I came across a testimonial from someone who claimed that Priest Alaska had helped them win the lottery. I was curious but also very skeptical. I decided to contact Priest Alaska to get to the bottom of it myself. After I explained my situation to him, he told me what to do and asked me to be patient. A few days later, he sent me some lottery numbers. I followed his instructions and decided to try my luck with those numbers. When the results were announced, I was completely shocked: I had hit a jackpot of $70,000,000. It was an incredible moment, especially after all those years of playing without any significant win. I am sharing this fictional testimonial for promotional purposes. Lottery games are based on chance, and no one can guarantee a win. I strongly encourage everyone to reach him for help via email: alaskaspellcaster44@gmail.com or Check out his website for more information: https://dralaskaspellcaster.mystrikingly.com.
