Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Snow Is Coming!!!

The ski areas prefer the free stuff..........

Sure, they prefer the free stuff but, it doesn't always come. Therefore, the snowmakers get busy.

Up at Sugarloaf they have covered miles and miles and miles of trails with the expensive stuff.:thumbsup:

Works for me.

So they say 14 to 20" on the way, I hope so the tractor is full and pointed out the door. Would like to give it a challange, stay tuned.....

IIRC, one ski area operator told me that the best snow for their industry is the snow that happens in peoples backyard to get them psyched about skiing....That brings them in....

Well, it's official here in west central NH... storm tracked a bit north, we're now in the 10-18" range, most if not all schools now closed. So far we've got a good 4", but it's real fine-grained and dense, just the type that's like grease on pavement....

Looks like the GC will have some work to do!

We got about 5" over night here near Hershey, PA.

13 inches plus here in Farmington CT and still snowing. Tractor fun this afternoon when the storm clears out

We now have about a foot, shows no signs of slowing down. It is, as I suspected, quite heavy snow, considering that it's dry. The blower's not bogging down, exactly, but it's plain to see that it's having to work at it.

I'm hitting the driveway now, but know I'll get to do it again later!

We are getting it in central Maine right now.

At the moment we have visibility of about 150 yards.!!

Lots of heavy bands moving through. We are expected to get 6 to 10 inches. More along the coast.

I just hope we get enough to use the blower....I use the rear blade up to about 5".....more than that.....the Frontier blower goes to work. I love that thing.

Same here. We have close to 3" now, so I don't think 6" will be hard to hit. Wind is straight out of the NE.

Also posted on Snow weapons thread, we have at least 24" and still snowing, expect it to stop soon. Did give the tractor a good workout, will have to rethink a cab purchase:laughing: tractor did great, some spots over the top of the blower. All in all some GREAT seat time:thumbsup:
