“We’ve got just about total coverage but not all runs are open at this time as we’re pushing the snow around, and also anticipating some of these warmer days we have coming up ahead of us. So we’re leaving some of the snow in piles to preserve as much of it as possible until it gets cold again next week and we’re able to start making snow again.”

McMullen says more than below-freezing temperatures are needed to make snow. He says temperatures need to stay low for several days. And snowmaking also depends on humidity, the amount of sunlight, and wind speed and direction.
