So a Snowmaker bud stopped here last nite , brought up a friend of his ... Turns out the dude went down for the job. Turns out my gut feeling on planning was correct. He was the only Snowmaker / Tree Climber that actually showed. Rest were stagehands he plugged in. Only the one dude had his own...
"Man Made" Snow ... ( Was my Winter job for Ten years ) is Dependant on cold temps. Running what we called "marginal" now ...nighttime only , inefficient w low yields. Ramp is turning White though slowly.
