Hunter Making Own Weather System

[catskills]

The WEB cams at Hunter are impressive this morning. With zero degrees last night Hunter Mountain was showing off just how they can produce their own weather on a blue sky morning. Take a look.

It is impressive when the machine gets going.

Heading up tomorrow to see how the skiing has improved.

Very nice. Love snowmaking porn.

For some reason the fan guns don't do it for me like air/water. Perhaps it's the lack of noise, lol.

I skied by one of the huge fan guns the last week at K. I had no idea it was running aside from the snow blowing like crazy out of it. Quite a sight without the sound.

And a step in the right direction if you ask me!

Based on Monday’s conditions, they certainly needed it. This is no knock on what they had achieved (best in the Catskills so far), but there was no getting around the unusually warm December and the near-total lack of natural snow.

The compressor shop at Hunter makes up for that. :wink: It sounds like a freight train when it's at full power.

Heading up to Hunter tomorrow! I have a season pass to Belleayre, but I'm done waiting for more terrain.
