The industrious snow blowers at Okemo

I can hardly believe the picture to the right but they are pretty impressive at making the snow at Okemo. Right now its warm and possibly drizzly, but look at this aerial view from this morning of Okemo's main mountain.

They have harnessed that 70 million gallon snowmaking pond well. These are the things you don't hear about much when a resort makes infrastructure improvements, but really deliver value in a sketchy season. And given global warming trends, its getting harder and harder to believe that Northeastern skiing will deliver consistnent natural snow in the future.
