snowmaking pic..yeah baby!
Started snowmaking on what looks like Rim Run and Elbow. Since snowmaking has started it would be great if someone would update the website.

For these forums, so I can post them quickly, I use my cheap little 6.1mp point and shoot digital camera. The image is pretty big so I can crop it down. It does have a high quality Schneider lens. This pic was taken from the Phen Basin Rd which is across the valley from ME.

Don't believe him!
I know for a fact (which I may or may not have just made up) that he took the pix from the Ski Resort Observer helicopter, which people have seen all over the area.
.
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I- I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

If I had one of them... I'd have soooo many runs in already, this season!

Anybody want to find some investors, buy a few hele's, and open MRV Hele Skiing? It could even be viable durring the "official" season by offering rich city folk a way to bypass liftlines on holidays, and if we could get a few crazy dare devil pilots who like high winds, we could offer a way to get to the stashes durring windholds.
All a fantasy, probably a lousy idea, plausible in a perfect world.
Enough of that train of thought for now.
Off to the garage to fire up my compressor, and rig up some kind of crude snowgun.....

But... if the lifts were on windhold... would you want to be in a helicopter?

Word has it that the snowmaking ops are not only on Rim Run>Elbow but also Upper FIS as well. Anyone have the scoop?
