When is the last day for snowmaking

[machski]

And I would also place a good sized bet that K will not be paying for the additional compressors over this year's numbers.

What's all this talk about more compressors? They only need the one trail for the race. You could line the trail double file with guns 10 feet apart and you'd still have enough air compressor capacity to blast all of them at once (pipe capacity excluded though).

Sugarloaf is saying snowmakers might return Wednesday for some resurfacing. However, I'm worried they are done after that.

They, and all major mountains, will have to resurface after today. They can't charge holiday rates to ski on ice chunks can they?

Yes but they have the rest of the mountain to think of also.

Hopefully not over at Hunter..
A lot of what was on the hill is now in the river..

They've already said that they will also have to cover Sky-Bitter for athlete training purposes, as there are apparently some WC restrictions about training access to the race hill for tech events in the couple of days leading up to the race

Skye Peak will not be the only area needing early season air...ie a lot of it.

The ski report spoke of snowmaking restarting...

Temps will rebound Thursday and they might get a little snow Friday night into Sat AM.
It isn't great..but their weather doesn't look that ominous as one would think....as what we've gotten here in Bangor...wind & rain.

Kingfield weather..from NWS

Mount Snow, per the head of Mtn Ops a few minutes ago on their passholders page, is charging their system right now and will be guns on on the core fan gun trails in the next few hours

 

[Vortex]

Guns were back on at the River at 11am today.

Got to give the home mountain props as Camelback is firing up the guns and resurfacing several trails in this particular window and says they are not ready to put them away yet. Looking forward to a pre spring weekend and hope any rain holds off till late Sunday.

Hunter=Impressive. Not to knock the Slutskys, but they have not made snow this late since Orville and Izzy ran the place. Kudos to Peak for this!

The southcentral PA mountains Roundtop, Liberty, and Whitetail have also been aggressive with resurfacing. Granted much smaller areas, but they are at least taking the effort to lay some snow down to make the surface as pleasant as possible. This is great to see. Snowmaking typically stops down here at the end of February.

Mount Snow started turning the Fan guns on at 10am on Wednesday morning (and ran them all night) on their "core" trails. By noon yesterday both Canyon and Snowdance were fully lit up and starting to ski much better.

Bromley has not made snow that I can tell (ski report and visual of the Mountian, but not trail by trail investigation). My gut says they are done.

From the report it seems that Sugarbush is done too.

Based on the report and distant visual Stratton is making snow on a couple of trails.

Once past this week it only makes sense to build base for spring skiing.

Cannon now making snow on a different route at Mittersill.

 

[Newpylong]

Isn't Baron's the only trail with snowmaking there thus far?

 

[steamboat1]

Pretty impressive. Great Northern lit up as well as Cascade on K Peak. Heard Superstar & Skyelark are lit up on Skye Peak.

 

[steamboat1]

Here's a better pic showing upper Skyelark/lower Bitter plus Mouse Trap lit up as well. Hard to tell how much of Supe is lit up but you can see 2 fan guns going at the bottom with newly made whales above them on another webcam.

Impressive. Should be a good weekend at K despite this week's weather
