Just to add to the jones factor, when I hiked up and around Mount Snow this AM, grass on chute has been cut AND the snowmaking hose has been dropped off at each spigot/gun! Guns haven't been hooked upto to the hoses or pulled into place yet, but it won't be long now
Absolutely amazing how much off season work Mount Snow has done/still is doing. The semi-sad thing is that a great deal of what they've done WON'T be noticed by all but the most diehard of mountain ops/ snowmaking tech/Mount Snow "geeks"New feeder pipes, "recycled" air/water tower guns on trails that were formerly ground guns, multiple new decks, repositioned kids program buildings, LOTS of paint, widened juntions of trails, and oh yes 150 fan guns
We went up the Summit Local on Sunday. I was impressed with how much work had been done. It almost looked like they had done some type of blasting....or rock removal. I noticed a lot of hay/straw was laid down and small chunks of rocks under that.

All of that hay was covering up where they ran new electrical and BIG diameter water lines along Upper Canyon/Standard. The hay in the Lodge/Exhibition area was covering up the impromptu work road they put in for the fan gun installation and associated electrical cable.
In all seriousness this IS the most amount of summer work that's been done at Mount Snow since The Grand Summit Hotel went in in the mid 90's and the re-alignment/movement of the base terminal of the Grand Summit Express/the base terminal of Ego Alley, Tumbleweed Triple and Sundance Triple base movement happened.
A good chunck of the work that Mount Snow did will also go unnoticed except by habitual summer hikers and Mount Snow snowmaking + operations geeks like myself. The 150 new fan guns in the big scheme of things is between 1/3rd and 1/2 of what they did this summer!

Sorry...I'm not going anywhere until the baby is born. Even then my trips will be limited.
You get a pass on that one. Once it's born we expect to see you out with the kid strapped to your back though...
nice way of putting it.
Well I don't know the gender, what else am I supposed to call it? I could have called it a shemale or something, but I don't think that would be any nicer...

Calling the baby......the baby, new arrival, future ski champion is way nicer than shemale or it :wink: :wink:
