This strikes me as a very smart marketing move. There is a substantial constituency of young skiers and riders who spend most of their time in the parks. If Tenney is within day commute distance of a decent population center and they charge $20 a day, I predict they will get enough business to make it pay.
 
Possibly, as their snowmaking system is quite less expensive than the normal snowmaking system, according to my information sources. (I mean for variable operating costs).
 
Besides the skicamps, does anybody know if it will be possible to ski this summer at tenney. I read the website, I didn't see anything that mentioned summer skiing (other than for skicamps). <BR>Any new info would be appreciated
 
No real skiing this summer, except the ski camps, I think (which is already better than only snowtubing). <BR> <BR>But as you see in red at the bottom of the pics, they say that the rails will be up all summer... so I suppose it will be possible to take them, for the snowpark amateurs.
 
Woohoo, The Snowmachine of Tenney is finally arrived !!!!! (confirmed by Dan Egan) <BR> <BR>You should look to the website of Tenney, they add some new infos each weeks. <BR> <BR>With the article of Patrick, on the international ski news, I now understand why we won't see that at Killington in the next years........ <BR> <BR> <BR>“The Future Is Here” as Summer Snow Arrives in New Hampshire <BR> <BR>Tenney Mountain (www.tenneymtn.com) in New Hampshire, USA is currently busy building its very own ‘glacier’ due to open shortly for summer riding and tubing, continuing right through to next winter. <BR> <BR>The Glacier, due to open on June 28th, uses the Japanese Infinite Crystals Snowmaking (ICS) system and will initially deliver a run 370 feet (110m) long by 75 feet (25m) wide and an inch (2.5cm) deep. <BR> <BR>The Tenney Mountain Glacier will be open from 5 to 9 p.m., seven nights per week (tickets $20 per two hours); and groups of tubing enthusiasts will be welcome as early as 1 p.m. by pre-reservation. Otherwise The Glacier Freeride Park will be open for all and include hits and rails. <BR> <BR><B>SnowMagic Resorts Group, LLC, the exclusive importer of the ICS equipment, purchased Tenney Mountain in October 2002.</B> The 2002 – 03 winter season was the most successful ever in Tenney’s history. The mountain will use the ICS system to offer on-snow tubing during July and August then on October 1st, Tenney will open a longer trail that will be used primarily by competitive skiers and snowboarders for pre-season training. <BR> <BR>The Glacier Tubing Park will be possible because ICS technology enables snowmaking to take place at any temperature. The basic premise behind ICS is that the snow is made inside a climate-controlled building. The ICS system freezes water to create tiny snow crystals. Utilizing forced air technology, the snow crystals are blown out with explosive force, creating snow with a natural feel and texture, with an average micron size (diameter) of 0.3 millimeters. <BR> <BR>The snow is moved from the building to the slope via a wide-diameter flexible tube. “At that point, when the snow is on the hill, it becomes a matter of controlling the rate at which it melts,” explains General Manager Dan Egan. “We have taken many steps to make sure the snow will last as long as possible, and we’ll make snow every night if we have to.” <BR> <BR>The ICS system can produce 150 tons of snow per day as long as the temperatures are at or below 60F. <BR> <BR>A number of summer snow events are already planned including an initial camp on June 28th – 29th and a second on July 5th and 6th This includes on snow sessions, wake boarding and water skiing on Newfound Lake and Glacier Big Air Competition. The cost for the two-day camp is $249 per participant and the minimum recommended age is 10 years.
