Yup, that's the plan the way that I heard it. Probably going to be Tower mounted fan guns on Middle Lodge, and likely ground/carriage fan guns on upper ex/lodge and lower ex because of the proximity of those trails to both the Grand Summit Express and The Summit local.

I can't wait now until the West Lake Project is done(hopefully for the start of the '09-'10 season), and Mount Snow basically double's their water supply and expands to 100% snowmaking. Wouldn't suprise me then if we're talking 4-500 fan guns burying the mountain!

What's the link to the passholder's site? Can't find it on the Snow website nor via Google.

Hey, maybe it's 350+ Fan Guns, not 250+? Just another typo?

You know what can happen when those folks who have office's on the 3rd floor of Mount Snow's base lodge start typing when their excited! (Remember we still have to watch someone use the winch cat in about a month on a certain part of the mountain! )

Atleast with the warm temps of the last few weeks, all the snow around the proposed West Lake project site has melted and they'll be able start the needed study about that land and bears feeding habits in that area thus enabling the ACT 250 process to continue.
