Snowmaking at Loveland Basin

[loafer89]

Today is the day the snowmaking started up at Loveland, while I cannot see any in progress at the summit due to the fog and snowy weather, the website says "snowmaking update" and there is already some natural base

Ya I was there early today. Weather report said 4 to 10 inches today. I did not see the guns going though. May be just to humid.

The prediction for Summit County is for 1-2 feet of snow:

Perhaps Loveland should change the website to snowmaking provided by nature

You guys see the wind patterns across the country this morning? It's coming up off the Gulf and turns west after hitting cold air around Michigan/Ohio and heads south over Colorado. They're going to get pounded.

Snowmaking is occuring right now at Loveland and I can see at least 4 guns going in the live webcam. They see to have a fairly decent natural base to work with as well.
