snow making

[ski911]

Yep.

[Timeless]

camelback updated the reports condition and it says snomaking should start mid november, the mice will be blown out with in the next week i would think if snowmaking would start middle of the month.

I went up to CB to pick my pass on Saturday, the office staff said that they wouldn't begin blowing any snow until the ground had really frozen, probably around Thanksgiving

 

One thing I didn't know till then was that they are dependent on their own local reservoirs of water and are therefore limited to a finite amount, if they blow too early and it all melts they could be in difficulty later.

 

Really depressing to leave with pass in hand and a dusting of snow on the runs, and no chance of using them for another 4 weeks, I'm just going to have to head north next weekend. Did any of you make it to Killington / Okemo / Hunter this weekend, and how was it?

Okemo was GREAT. The snow was hard, there was good cover, and you could rip around.
