Lakewood Snow Update: 12/17/08 9:00 PM - more pics tomorrow.

Wednesday update - new snow pile pics below.  We've blown over 360,000 gallons of water through our snow gun since Monday morning!

 

Updated Dec 16th, 2:00 PM   It's cold and we are making a lot of snow in Lakewood to improve conditions from this past Saturdays practice (12/13/08).  Between Monday and Saturday of this week our forecast is such that we may be able to run for 96 of a possible 120 hours of snowmaking.  Hopefully Murphy's law is now behind us as we have all of our equipment working properly.  We will be forming more of the track as the week goes and will try to post new pics of the snow at least once each day.  Here's the pics of the new snow since Saturday (12/13/08).  If there is one thing we can promise, it is that we are doing everything we can to get the Great Northern Sno-X Series off to a good start by living up to YOUR expectations.
