The Snow Cats have been Unleashed
— Posted by Mimi on November 8, 2011
Opening Day is only 11 days away! We hope you are ready for ski season because the resort is working hard to open as much terrain as possible. Our snowmaking team has been working around the clock and are nearly done with Homerun. They plan to move onto PayDay and Treasure Hollow and continue making snow on 3 Kings. Yesterday the snow cats were let out of their cages and allowed on the mountain for the first time this winter. They took me along for a ride as they were pushing piles to see the progress on the mountain.

Big thank you to our snowmaking team for working so hard and all the progress they have made.
Big whales piled up in the skiway.
Great coverage.

Upper Homerun looks great too!

Opening Day is right around the corner and we are almost ready.

How much fuel do the snow cats use every year?
