Snowmaking

[Ripitz]

I feel like I remember somebody telling me something like that when I was a kid. Maybe not word for word…

Maybe Zappa?

Don’t eat the Yellowstone Club snow.

A Montana first: Yellowstone Club starts using treated wastewater to make snow

The Yellowstone Club launched a recycled snowmaking project this winter for its private ski resort, following more than a decade of scientific study, collaboration with environmental groups and legal challenges.

I made snow for one year. It, by far, was the most challenging and demanding job I've ever had. I wanted to quit but my mother wouldn't let me. Most people don't even make it to lunch before they quit. These guys/gals are truly a special breed

Keep in mind that Beech Mountain is over 5000 ft. It's on par with Denver in terms of elevation.

Do you "feel the altitude" at these SE resorts? I feel it on the Whiteface summit when doing something strenuous, like hiking into the Slides.

Not skiing . . . when a run takes 2-3 min to finish for even intermediates. Did get a bit out of breath when taking kids to Beech 15 years ago and didn't get to the parking early enough to park really close. It's an uphill walk to the lodge and lifts.

However, when it comes to sleeping at higher altitude, a body's reaction to that is the same in the Appalachian mountains as anywhere else. I didn't sleep well the first night staying in Asheville when visiting my daughter the years she was in college there. It's about 2000 ft. Central NC where I live is at 300-500 ft. Same when sleeping in Lake Placid when I visit.

Interesting. We stayed near the base of Sugar Mountain last spring. Didn't think much about it then, but in retrospect maybe that's why we were a bit off. We live at 1200 feet and the hills we hike around the house maybe hit 2400 or so.
