It is not necessary to be an expert in order to interpret a snow report, but you should be aware of the terminology and how to apply it. Skiers and snowboarders must be responsible and be aware of the risky elements of the sport. Ski carefully and in control at all times. Skiing conditions can change with weather and skier use. Actual conditions are given and the skier can make his or her own interpretation. The NSAA (National Ski Areas Association) endorsed a system eliminating subjective ratings and all ski reports to carry the depth and type of base and surface conditions only.
Removing excess snow from around lift stations.Maintaining snow depth in high traffic areas.The main objective of snow grooming is to provide our guests with the best possible skiing and snowboarding experience. Temperature 23 degrees, Humidity 98% = Factor 121 (Poor or impossible Snowmaking).Temperature 28 degrees, Humidity 40% = Factor 68 (Possible Snowmaking).Temperature 25 degrees, Humidity 50% = Factor 75 (Good Snowmaking).Temperature 16 degrees, Humidity 50% = Factor 66 (Excellent Snowmaking).Snow can be efficiently made at a temperature and humidity factor not exceeding 100 and at temperatures up to 36 degrees Fahrenheit. To make snow, the air temperature needs to be 28 or colder but may vary based on the humidity.Īs temperatures and humidity rise, the amount of water needs to be decreased in order to create a dry, fluffy quality of snow. This produces large piles, or whales of snow, on the ground. As the water arrives at the gun, it is pushed through small nozzles on the ends of the barrel of the gun, and blown into the air to freeze by high powered fans. All that cold water is pumped through hundreds of feet of snow making pipe, straight to our snow guns.
The process begins at our pump house, which draws water from our lake.
