Sun Valley's World Famous Snow Making

November 22nd, 2008 6:32pm

Snow Making Department Supervisor Dennis Harper gives us a behind-the-scenes tour of Sun Valley's legendary automated snow creation system. Over 570 automated snow guns mix compressed air and water to blanket Baldy with layers of man-made snow. Snow making kicks off about two to three weeks before opening day begins and continues unabated, 24 hours a day through out the rest of the season.

The guns are running! After a light dusting of snow on the Valley floor earlier this week and a more significant accumulation (eight inches) atop Bald Mountain, the Sun Valley Company has turned on the snow guns on Bald and Dollar Mountain in an effort to meet their Thanksgiving Day opening.
