elcornholioI hope to see something like this in the east soon.
KravtZis this a joke comment? When has the east coast had any sort of reliable summer skiing past May (on a good year). Maybe at tuckermans on a good year.
Want summer skiing? (hike or lift) go west otherwise keep dreaming

HolteGo South or keep dreaming.
elcornholioEh. I wasn't entirely serious but it would be cool to have something like this eventually. Sunday River has a snow factory btw, just not sure it can be used in August.
JibberinoAs far as I know, Woodward has had on snow camps at Boreal for years.

cdipAgreed, a mountain like killington should just blow a fuck ton all year on a closed run and pile it up 50ft high lmao
HeathRThey used to do that on outer limits. Still only made it into May maybe June one year. Its just not viable on the east coast. Not enough elevation.

kbrandoTenney mountain in new hampshire had one of these about 15 years ago. They invested a ton of money into a system like this and had it for one summer. I remember going there probably during the summer of 1997 or 1998 with my brother on our snowblades of course and it sounds just like what boreal is going to have. It was kind of before it's time and I know the investment was one of the reasons tenney went bankrupt a few years later. either way, this type of technology is awesome!
elcornholioThey make it to mid may on superstar just about every year. Pretty sure they're still open.
