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.
