Mount Snow's Facebook page had a post that The Matterhorn Inn (located maybe a mile South of Mount Snow on Route 100 next to the West Dover Police Station) turned on their small, homemade snowmaker and made a little bit of the white stuff last Sunday AM! :) :snow:

I'm kicking around building one of those in VT. We have a stream in the backyard...and an old dug well...so water isn't an issue. I just need to figure out a way to tell my wife I need another air compressor. :wink:

I'd just buy it, forgiveness is always easier than permission.

My buddy says the same thing. :cool: "Hon, I'm home! Can you help me unload this compressor.....Stihl chains saw and Bilstein shocks?"

Speaking of backyard snowmakers. Does anyone know where to find instructions and a parts list to build your own? I'd love to put a little one together for the back yard.

Hmmm, I was thinking I could do it for a couple hundred but since i don't own a compressor or power washer it's a pretty big investment. I have been meaning to get a compressor ... maybe I can be set up by next year.

Back on topic:

Sunday River.

Looks like they're going to put on a fan gun show (Just to the left of the lift on the right side of the image - 2 boyne low-e fan guns that were placed there at about 9:45 this morning according to timestamps on the webcam):

I would expect tomorrow morning when it's still cold and the sun's up they'll turn them on for a little PR snow blowing.
