Thanks to lower temperatures and fresh natural snow, Mt. Rose – Ski Tahoe in Nevada turned on its snow guns yesterday, becoming the first Lake Tahoe resort to begin snowmaking ahead of the 23/24 winter season. The resort also beat its Californian neighbors.
“With the cooler weather finally here, we’ve started making snow from the summit down to the base. Conditions will change over the weekend, but this opportunity will help to get our equipment dialed in early, and getting coverage on some key runs is crucial to having the best conditions possible on opening day. Last year, we started making snow on October 22nd, and we plan to take advantage of any chance we get to keep making more!”
