From email from the Eagle River Watershed Council
Join us Monday, January 13th to see firsthand what snowmaking is all about!
9 – 11:30 a.m. meet @ the base of Lionshead Gondola
With the expert guidance of Dave Tucholke, Vail’s Snowmaking Manager, we will be strapping on our skis and touring Vail Mountain to learn more about snowmaking: the history, equipment and process behind the snow we have come to rely on each November. Tom Allender, Director of Mountain Planning for Vail & Beaver Creek, will share his knowledge of ski area water rights and explain the mountain’s “plumbing system” from source to snow.
This will be a unique look at Vail’s snowmaking from atop your very own skis!
