FUN FACT: mt snow is not named after the amount of snow it gets, otherwise it would be mount grassy mud shit, but in fact the farmer who used to own the land on that mountain was named Snow, hence the name of the mountain before it was turned into a ski area was mt. snow. when it was turned into a ski area, they figured it would be a good name
it's kind of an ironic story, but there's my fun fact of the day

hoooooolllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy  CRAP.    now the better question is, do they have the water pumping capacity to fire those baby's up.


i think my "hill" only has around 5 fan guns, other than that they are all those stick type guns.

SMI state of the art fan guns.  Peak Resorts is their largest customer by far. I am not sure but I believe they have some type of partnership. It is true about the 100 fan guns.  Stayed tuned to Mount Snow for next year,  watch the parks, keep watching..

If I remember right, you are studying to go into the industry.  IMO - Keep an eye on BB and MT Snow.  They advertise "where the snow comes first"  the reports and subsequent sales at both Boulder were exceptional.  The point is, I doubt they will spare any expensive to make sure they can produce a quality product.

just in from the website
Over $5 million dollars will be spent this summer to install over 150 additional fan guns. When we open for the 2008-09 season, Mount Snow will have 250+, the most new-technology fan guns on the entire continent of North America. No lie.

HELLZ YEAHHH
