Taos is at a high altitude, and in my humble opinion, since basebuilding to cover all runs takes a long time, and once covered should have good preservation thanks to taos's 9000+ base elevation, closing the first weekend of April (with 2006 being the execption) is just ridiculous. Typical Taos...

Has anyone heard of the new SnowMagic system that allows people to make snow in 60 degree weather? With this, would a ski area in the SanFrancisco Bay Area be a viable operation. Also, does anyone know how much a POMA quad chair or a POMA triple's approximate cost. Anyone know of a place to get...

Is it just me or do most of the canadian ski areas have skiing on 100% natural snow. I think snowmaking is a absolute must if annual snowfall is under 300 inches. Le Valinouet's lack of snowmaking on their area which gets less than 240 inches seems risky to me.

If you don't want Waterman to be torn down, I have a unique proposal. I am working with some friends to create the Waterman Foundation, which is a group dedicated to saving Mt Waterman. With enough donations, Waterman Foundation will buy Mt Waterman and will run Mt Waterman. As far as making...

Sweet, wish i was there. Too bad Alpine meadows isn't suimilar.

I understood when October 20th rolled around, and there was no snow, but now it's the 24th, and there are clear skies forecast for at least 10 more days. The only area is mammoth, which is 5 percent open. It seems that recent storms have had fairly high snow levels and were mostly rain at the...

There is clear skies forecast, with warm tempratures. If you look at the Alpine Meadows webcam, you will notice the alarmingly low amount of snow for this time of year. Apparantly, according to the Farmer's Almanac, Tahoe should experience weather patterns similar to the Pacific Northwest last...
