Hasn't there only been one confirmed night of snowmaking and no confirmation of snow made on Rime and Reason, just Great Northern and top of Canyon Quad?

I'll certainly take that as confirmaiton of snowmaking on Rime, but doesn't look like much. The snow on the trail appears to be what they packed down. I would think if the guns had been on any longer, there would be some whales of some size.

I recall from somewhere a 26 degree wet bulb temperature being what you need. Might not be the best snow it puts out, but it's not bad for early season. 21 degrees with a 13 degree wet bulb looks tasty.

28 degree wet bulb is the highest you can do...

Here's a chart that's dumbed down a bit, but is still pretty decent to get a handle on what's what...
