THE START OF THE 2012/2013 SNOWMAKING SEASON IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
TEMPERATURES COOLED OFF A BUNCH OVER THE WEEKEND HELPING LOWER LAKE WATER TEMPERATURES IN THE VALLEY AND GROUND TEMPERATURE HERE ON THE MOUNTAIN. THIS WEEKS WEATHER WILL MODERATE STARTING TODAY WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF COOL AIR ARRIVING WEDNESDAY.
CONSTRUCTION OF OUR NEW WATER TANK, PUMP STATION, NEW GUNS AND WATER COOLING CONTINUES AROUND THE CLOCK. THE PICTURE ABOVE WAS TAKEN DURING THE INSTALLATION OF OUR WATER COOLING UNITS FRIDAY 11/23. COLD WATER IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT WITHIN THE SNOWMAKING PROCESS, THESE UNITS WILL PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR QUEST FOR A MASSIVE INCREASE IN OUR SNOWMAKING CAPABILITIES.
WHEN WILL WE BEGIN MAKING SNOW???
WE ARE WATCHING THE WEATHER CLOSELY LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT MIX OF GOOD NIGHTTIME PRODUCTION AND MINIMAL DAY TIME MELTING. WEATHER PERMITTING, WE COULD BEGIN DURING THE MIDDLE PART OF THIS WEEK.
