Snowing and Snowmaking


Now this is what we have been waiting for. It is snowing and the snowmaking system is cranking. The ambient temperature at Midway is 23 F and falling. Perfect. We expect to make snow all day, all night, and maybe the same again tomorrow. Again the priority is to get Ramrod open and to buff out High Noon. Beyond that, we have started making snow above Black Mountain Express and are already working on Lenawee Face and Dercum's Gulch. This is beautiful and people are excited.

Build It And They Will Come


One of the coolest things about the world of sliding on snow is the intense passion held by skiers and riders. No where is that more intense than in the terrain park. The folks there today (and every day) are just having a blast sliding, grinding, jumping, and spinning. If you build it.....................

The Fans Were Spinning


We had a pleasant surprise this morning. Last night we were not expecting much snowmaking. The temps were a bit cooler than forecast and we had a fairly decent night. Fan guns were running on High Noon, Ramrod, and Dercum's Gulch. Dorse groomed the new snow on High Noon nicely. I took a couple of quality control runs about 8 AM and was very pleased. Look for a good change starting Monday.
