The below is from the recent Peak Resorts quarterly report. Any other data or observations on the financial or snow (quantity/quality/timeliness) impact of last summers efforts in Vermont to replace old snow guns with new, high efficiency, low energy guns?
"Resort operating expenses were down primarily because of the 18.2 percent decline in power and utility expenses compared with fiscal 2014. Although our resorts used about the same amount of water for snow making this year, they used significantly fewer kilowatt hours of energy in the process. That largely reflected the benefit of the energy-saving snowguns installed last summer, including 645 snowmaking machines installed at Mount Snow for which 75 percent of the cost was covered by the state of Vermont."
