I have 10GPM and 90psi water at my disposal off of a tap before the main reducer.
If I went with just plain water from my spigot, I would have only 8GPM and 55psi. That will work, but it wouldn't be too good. Im hoping to get 11GPM and 127psi off the main line before it branches off for my upgrade next year.

Definately. Not something massive like snowshoe or killington, but more like a ski club somewhere in WV or NY

:idea: Hey Powderhound, AWF, if you'd like to go into ski resort management someday, you really should check out Lyndon State College which is in my part of VT and offers three different majors for ski resort management--one for management,, another for mapping and planning of resorts with GIS programs, , and another BS program in program management and adventure based activities . Courses are taught by Jay Peak's Bill Stenger I believe. No better to learn from. You also get the chance to work at Burke and Jay while your in school. Heck, you'll be skiing my old heart-throb, Burke! :D

Thats pretty awesome. Right now im looking at a few colleges for meteorology and a little bit of ski resort management so I'll give that a look. Thanks.

Nope. Well water might not have enough pressure or flow. A few people that have home snowmaking systems have wells, but they have either booster pumps after the well, or their wekk pump is very durable.

Yes, 10 min to Burke, 5 min to the local town ski hill. You see both from the campus. About 45-1 hr to Jay. 45 to Cannon, 1.5 to Stowe.

LSC has one of the best meterology programs in the country and it is TOUGH. Quite a few anchors on TWC came from LSC including Jim Cantore (sp?)
