New Compressors?

[Nick Danger]

While riding up Super Bravo today I noticed a conspicuous lack of compressors in the usual (in prior years) location.
Did they ever arrive?

Just curious.

They are there, but at a different location.

Bubba can tell you more about how they're hooked in to the snowmaking system.

I think someone said something about the fuel truck getting by the Bravo lift. :wink:

Let me clarify. What you used to see where auxiliary diesel compressors that were leased and used to supplement our three electric compressors. When we purchased the couple of hundred Low Energy nozzles we determined that we did not need them last year and that turned out to be the case. However, because of the weather and record warmth, we leased six diesel (using bio diesel by the way) to supplement what we have and they are located in the parking lower parking lot next to the Compressor Building we call CB-1. If we had had colder temperature we would not need them because we would max out on water with our existing compressor capacity but because we have had such warm temperatures, they do give us additional snowmaking capacity and we are using them whenever needed.
