Learn More About Snow Surfaces
We’ve invested over $8 million into our snow surfaces departments (snowmaking and grooming) over the past 2 years. You can learn more about these investments in infrastructure and technology (including new snowcats and new snowmaking lines) in our What’s New Blog series. Check out What’s New For Snowmaking and What’s New For Grooming for the latest.
