Kind of weird they‘re adding snowmaking to Carpenters Run. I’m guessing it’s the stretch between Home Stretch and Great Eastern. My interpretation is they plan on making snow on Home Stretch again. Nyberg shut that down about 10 years ago. Homeowners were not pleased. It’s also possible it’s just to move more water out of the Ottauquechee, they recently did repairs on that source.

I’m guessing the opposite, I think they will put the snowmaking on the top of Carpenters Run, between the gondola midstation and Home Stretch. Without that segment open there is no way to lap to first stage of the gondola, or to go directly down to the Skyeship lot from the Jerk Shack or from Snowshed.

But it's kinda a necessary evil being the only way out of Northbrook not on a chair. It usually holds snow really well due to being flat as a board, they could mean they replaced 900' of the Bear to Snowshed (Woodward) feed that goes through the woods alongside Carpenters. Guess we'll see this winter.

I'm sure the homeowners along Home Stretch wouldn't mind that trail getting some attention if it's a low tide year. They did say they trimmed it back...
