In the past decade, all Ski NH resorts have greatly expanded their snowmaking and grooming capabilities. Snowmaking allows the season to start sooner and last later, and assures consistently excellent conditions all season long.
Many resorts now have snowmaking computers that continually assess the temperature.
Temperatures between 0F-30F are excellent for blowing snow, with 10F being just about perfect. Seperate hoses each carry air and water. When the two elements meet at the nozzle, snow is instantly created. Major advancements have eliminated the quesswork in snowmaking. Machine-made snow is drier and tends to last longer.
