Last week we ran the snowmaking system for the first time this season. Often, the very early sessions are a combination of equipment testing and staff training. It is often hard to know whether this first effort will really amount to much actual snow. This week's effort was no different than most years. We worked out a few bugs and our snowmakers had some great practice. The real objective is to have staff and gear completely ready for when it really does get cold. Then we make some very serious snow. I am happy to have a few "practice rounds."
