From the Jiminy Snowblog:

In the past years the most snow guns Jiminy has had operating at one time was 205. Sunday night we will top that. With weather of 19 Degrees it is possible to operate 50% more guns on the same amount of energy it normally takes the system to operated at 29 Degrees. With the ideal temperature and our new setup, from Sunday evening through tuesday, we will operate 210 guns transforming 7 million gallons of water into snow, per day of operation. If all goes well, Jiminy Peak will have 21 million gallons of water transformed into snow for a picture perfect winter wonderland.

Couple the above with this forecast indicating a chance for some natural snow and early next week into next weekend looks to be a great time to ski in the Northeast! :beer: Finally.
