It's a 100 frickin degrees out here and some of these videos are helping keep me cool. Feel free to add your favorites.

Killington:



Snowbasin, Utah (interesting look at their fully automated system that only requires 3 people to operate each shift :eek: )



An Ontario place named Calabogie that made this very interesting 15 minute video on their system:



OntheSnow.com segments:

Good get Trailboss....yeah this summer's temps will be, should we say, interesting... This, just to become last...June was like a June in the 1960s = absolutely no humidity...good mix of sun and rain. During this last 10years it has been May that was comfortable.
I was just wondering about the siphoning off well water...at this time?? *Post note = I haven't had my morning coffee yet!!:lol: Guess everyone has grabbed whatever water they can since the 60s...y/n? Advanced systems can be ingeniously designed to do most anything with less = great work, but can't help wondering should they really be siphoning well water to help create mogul runs @Snowbasin....y/n? Priorities...y/n? Guess mega-$$$s talk louder than environmental needs...y/n? The age-old battle for water downstream I guess...as well the battle, by owners, to create the ultimate thrill-seeking kids of the Viagra parents...

Ok I will bite! This is one of my favorites even though I do not ski there much.


LOVE that video. Someone posted that a few years back. Love the part about the guy going down into the water intake to clear the leaves.
