We fired up last night. The wet bulb temperature got down to 25F for about six hours. The snowmakers have been training and testing for the last week. They put a little bit of snow on the ground. It wasn't a big night, but it was a very productive and important night. We will probably have a few more nights like this. It is good to run the system and work out any kinks. A snowmaking system has miles and miles of machines and equipment. Most of that gear lives outside and is exposed to weather and wildlife. Testing is good, running the system under real conditions is even better. The objective is to be fully ready when we get that 36 hour period of temperatures in the teens. We will be ready.
...............And there is a big old civilian Blackhawk in Early Riser this morning.
