It’s been a massive 24 hours for snowmaking production up at The Ridge! With continued chilly temps, the guns have been firing from summit to base for 36 hours straight, with a renewed emphasis on Mimi and the lower slopes.

The forecast is looking favorable for the coming weekend, and the MRSM team stands ready to capitalize! As the sun set Thursday evening, chilly conditions allowed the team to fire up guns on the upper part of the mountain.

A period of warmer and windy weather put a temporary pause on November's strong start. Snowmaking operations were on hold for several days, but the MRSM crew was able to fire up some guns near the summit late Monday afternoon.

Cold temps and calmer winds returned to the mountain on Tuesday the 5th, and the MRSM crew was able to fire guns from the summit to the base for the first time this season!

Marginal (meaning cool but not quite cold enough for good snowmaking conditions in snowmaker language) temps kept things pretty quiet during the day on the 2nd, but by sunset, things started to cool off nicely.

The countdown is over, and snowmaking for the 2024/25 season is officially underway!
