damn that looks like some old pipe...
Did you think it was going to be shiny and new?

How can you tell by that picture? Most snow making pipe looks pretty similar to me. I doubt I could tell three years old from thirty years old.
Same here...

That's awsome!
Actually, he is right. It is very old pipe, probably some of the oldest on the mountain. We had a heck of time welding a patch due to the condition of the pipe. It was very pitted, rusty, etc. We will need to replace it soon, but 8" pipe is not in our budget right now.
Now how he can tell that from the picture is a mystery to me. Up close it would be pretty easy to distinguish pipe this old from newer pipe.
Off to tackle holes on Black line now!!

Because most newer water pipe is 8" in diameter, is epoxy coated and/or galvanized steel, is colored, etc. It's fairly obvious this stuff is bigger and has been out there for a while. I can only imagine how bad the flaking is!
keep up the great work!

When I went to Magic last year I remember going past that pipe at the top of Magician a few times and thinking "Damn, thats some old pipe!" haha. And yes, I was too pussy to go down Magician too.
Way to go Magic...can't wait to come back this season!
