Winter weather is unpredictable.
When Mother Nature fails to deliver snow in sufficient quantities for skiing, the snowmaking crew has to step in. We use electricity to provide compressed air, and to pump water, and we choose the best combination of snow guns for the conditions. The compressed air and water travel through a parallel system of pipes along all of the trails on the mountain. The water is drawn from the pond down by the road. The equipment that pushes the water and compressed air uses a lot of electricity.
