The resort's 4,848 foot elevation resulted in ideal snowmaking temperatures in the mid-20's, and Mother Nature even lent a helping hand, dropping six inches of natural snow on the resort.
Snowshoe is the first resort south of New England to begin snowmaking operations.
According to Snowshoe's Joe Stevens, snowmaking began at the top of Skidder Slope. Plans are to proceed down Crosscut, Gandy, and Powder Monkey, while beginning snowmaking at the Ruckus Ridge Snow Tubing Hill at the Silver Creek area. Milder temperatures are forecast for early this week, so snowmaking operations past Monday are not guaranteed. The resort hopes to lay down a solid base that will stick around thanks to the natural snowfall and cold ground temperatures. The resort has set Friday, November 19 as a tentative opening date.
