Very Productive 36 Hours

As I write, the sun has cracked the ridgeline, the temperatures are starting to go up and the Snowmakers are preparing to shut down. They had a very productive session on High Noon over the last 36 hours. For a period yesterday afternoon they had to turn off the fan guns near the bottom, but at other times, they had the pumps running at full capacity. Previously, we had a few test and trial runs, but this session is very meaningful. Looking forward, with clear skies and temps below freezing at night, each night this week could have low wet bulb temps and good opportunities for snowmaking. While it is way too early to pick an opening date, we are heading in the right direction and very happy with this snowmaking effort.
