What do you expect from Idiotspammer@net ?

I think you have something mixed up there Roger. Gary isn't a spammer --
he just provided some interesting links. He's been around rsb & rsa for
eons. Well years anyway.


No intent to spam, just sent out a link.

Interesting snowmaking technology.

While most snowmaking systems depend on a cold air temperature, no
more than a little above freezing (not freezing, due to the cooling
due to expansion) and spray a mix of water and pressurized air, this
system workis differently, and can make snow in typical summer
temperatures.

The article references an event in July 2003 where they made snow at
Tenney, and had tubing on the ski slope covered with snow.

While not highly practical for regular July use due to cost and
melting, this snowmaking system has a great deal of potential to
extend the shoulder seasons for ski areas. No more skimpy cover in the
very early season.

For a small New England ski area, extending the season a bit could
make the difference between staying in business, or becoming part of
the Lost Ski Areas of New England project.

Happy trails,

I think this technology could be made to work for the
worlds largest frozen margarita. Hmmm, now that sounds
good.

Hey Gary, I hadn't seen you here before, just over
at r.backcountry with Mike V and others (no, I'm NOT
putting you in the same category).

Where do you ski? Interested in hooking up this winter?
Killington? I also have SlowKemo pass which includes
Flatten (Stratton) and Sunnapee. The Killingon pass
includes MtSnow and Bear Attitash, though I'm mostly
at Killington.

If you're interested, I'll email you contact info
off-group.
