Well snowmaking is a different beast. All you need is some cold nights and you can open a run at a resort with downloading from the higher summits.

1999-2000 winter, I remember opening day at smuggs was thanksgiving week or the week before and they were 100% open with a 10’ base already. That winter was epic. Now it’s just scraps every year.
