Right from the snowmakers mouth
Cannon will continue making snow through this week and most likely will shut it down by next week.Actually pretty amazing is that they now have all trails on Cannon open except most of the glades.The unexpected and what seems to be only snowfall anywhere Friday night turned out a whopping 4-5 inches for real nice Saturady conditions.

I would think that most resorts will at least suspend terrain expansion if not all snowmaking operations after this week. Time to cut the losses on a bad year.

This morning Belleayre was blowing the bump trails, middle and upper connectors, and upper mountain stockpiles. See http://forums.alpinezone.com/showthread.php?t=107519 for pics by legal

Sunday River resurfaced a bunch on Barker Sunday night and I saw new guns out on Quantum Leap. I think they are still in expansion mode too. edit Sunday Punch, Tourist trap and risky business got snow last night.

At Loon Snowmaking Team 6 did another night of special ops on Bearclaw Extension, Exodus, Brookway, Upper Walking Boss, Angel St and lower Big Dipper. They've been slipping in after dark and cleaned up by dawn. Only whales and the occasional dropped hose are left by morning.

pico had a few guns going (4......why werent they going for the past month??)
I think it was for a touch of resurfacing but mostly for marketing...."hey look, we're blowing snow"
they could have done so much more

I guess Belleayre snowmakers are showing up for work!
I also guess that their days of making snow in April are over. They should be at least for us taxpayers.

Rumor has it that they are way over their snowmaking budget for the year.

Probably reallocated some parking lot snow removal funds.
Admittedly a difficult year for the mountains. Especially hard hit are the "tip" based workers in the ski area towns.
I'm hoping that there is still snow for St Pat's week and a little beyond. Only one day off for me until March 12th.
BTW, litfies told me that Blue Hills was told no more water by the town. Over $400,000 in water used this season. Don't know if that was appealed, but no way to blow in current weather. 52-57 degrees this afternoon, plus sun.....

Making Snow
the last time they blew was last Thursday and there were a few cold nights over the weekend.Don't know why no blowing. Would love to see them blow alittle if they can. Weather looks poor for snowmaking but if Hunter would step up when they can they'd win many friends.
