Snowmaking, Good and Bad

Snowmaking is useful for several reasons. But it also has its downsides. First on the list: riding or skiing during snowmaking operations can be pretty tough. Obviously, the stuff is cold, but it also contributes in terms of wind chill, and if you’re especially unlucky, spray that gets stuck on the goggles. But in the early days of the season, such as we have now, it’s better to have it than not at all.
