Well tell that to Jeff Temple head of mountain operations at Killington who wrote this:
"In the snowmaking business, your “manufacturing plant” has a set amount of air and water it can produce at any given time based on temperature. If temperatures are higher than the mid-teens, we are on the “air side of the curve,” meaning plenty of water and a large air producing plant coupled with low energy snow guns allows us to operate a maximum number of snowguns, over 200 at once. As temperatures drop below mid-teens, we go to the “water side of the curve,” and crews can send more water to each snowgun allowing each gun to produce a lot more snow, reducing number of guns needed but maintaining quality snow consistency".
Read what you post, Jeff said "coupled with low energy snow guns" Last I checked the k3000 guns which they were mostly using in nov and dec are not low E guns. It also said that when temps drop they send MORE water to each gun which further supports what I am saying which is in warm temps they need more air.
