Snowmaking Improvements
New Snowmaking pipeline from bottom-to-top of West Woods Trail, with shut-off valve at bottom, all installed and ready to go! To be sure we are giving the Snowmaking System the right treatment to deliver the best snow conditions for you, we are going through our higher hour workhorses by refurbishing 10 Snow Guns each Off-Season with new hoses, components, and compressors.

We are ready for another fantastic Season and can't wait for you to join us! Our typical Winter Season runs from December into March, with our goal to begin Snowmaking just as soon as temps drop below 29F... hoping for around Thanksgiving time!
