Sundance Snowmaking
You may have noticed these four poles on Lower Sundance. Last season we had a successful experiment with stick guns. This season we bought a few more of them and will be deploying them around the mountain. The stick guns sit on these poles. When snowmaking is finished the stick guns and the poles will be removed and you won't see any snowmaking equipment.
We are putting a lot of energy and thought into making our snowmaking system more efficient. When I say more efficient, I mostly mean we are trying to get more trails open for you sooner.

Looking East
From the Black Mountain Lodge Deck here is a nice view of the top of the Argentine North Fork Trail, Black Mountain and The Tree Chutes on the East Wall.

Reservoir
Down below the bottom of Pali Lift we have a 5.5 acre snowmaking reservoir. Our stream diversion requirements only allow us to divert a small amount of water at a time. During the snowmaking season, we make that small diversion 24 hours a day. We store the diverted water in the reservoir. When the temperatures get cold enough for snowmaking we pump water uphill out of the reservoir at a much high rate than our diversion rate.
