As we experienced with this season's noteworthy (and much appreciated) efforts to maintain a reasonable runout back to the lift those last few official days of Castle Rock opening, we really could lengthen the experience (even to those of us who hike over) without overtaxing available resources.
4-6 small snow guns strategically hidden would be reasonably adequate, with the express stipulation that no further snowmaking will be added.
Welcome any pros, cons, opinions, suggestions, discussion, etc.
