Yes, that snowmaking line is odd as it seems to run almost directly below the lift line for it's length. I am unfamiliar with the slope but looks like a very wide area on both sides of the lift. So from a coverage standpoint, the line where it is probably made sense. But given what is overhead, not so much. That's why Killington won't make snow anywhere on the SS trail pod during World Cup I believe. The feed lines run right under where the grandstands are set up.The incompetence goes even deeper- starts with the design of that system. Snowmaking hydrants in the middle of a trail running right under the chairlift? Forget about the boarder that skied into the hydrant, there’s so much more that could go wrong with a system that is under pressure with a lift directly above.
