And do you have a hill to put it on? Evidently yes, directly east of BYU. -Astro |

But can it make enough to ski on? And do you have a hill to put it on? (at this point I'll take almost anything...) Tenney has that system. They were actually open the 4th of July to make a 'statement'. I wasn't there, but I heard it was $20 for 2 hours, and all they had was a few spots in a terrain park. But from what I've heard, they've been open for over a month now with skiing. Don't know anything about it. I suggest you check out their web site. |

Guessing at what you want: See Tenney Mountain in New Hampshi http://www.tenneymtn.com Which uses the new SnowMagic system to make snow at summer temperatures.
