The Reservoir and The Wind

Snowmaking had been going really well up high. We did, however, bump into a couple of challenges. The ridgetops got a little too windy. The snowmaking reservoir got a little too low. The humidity got a little too high. So, after some phenomenal snowmaking, we had to slow things down just a bit. We are letting the wind die down, the reservoir recharge and the wet bulb drop. We don't have far to go to get Lenawee Face and Dercum's Gulch open, but we need those better conditions to return. Soon.
