32 degrees and under for all ski resorts is the prime snow blowing experience. Anything above 32, the chemicals in the mist wont convert to snow.

going by weather.com they could blow:

expected rain coming from the rockies will his us this week, i doubt they will try and blow snow, it would be a waste of money imo.

Yes, they made snow, problem is they don't have all their hoses up and running so I don't think they'll be able to open Tuesday night:-(  The weather doesn't look good for a while then!

Remember the water coming out of the guns is still above freezing so you really need 26 or less with low humidity even with drift additives.

Whoever said they got a mailbox rail, not true, find a new source.

Picnic table

big rainbow box

some kind of park bench box.

I don't know what happened to the down flat down idea!

It's too bad tyrol is such a drive.  Welcome to the monopoly in Eastern WIsconsin.

thank you CJ i was going to have to corect these kids on there facts. 32 degrees is a horrable temputre for making snow might as well be pissing water on to the hill. Like cj said the normal MAGIC Number is around 28 - 26 depend on the wet bulb which is the humidity in the air.

32 is where it starts to get very iffy. You can blow with anything under 32. My dad works up at alpine and they use chemicals that allow anything under 32. But as you said, 26 is where it starts to become good snow though.
