~ Snowmaking Update ~

November 8th

Snowmaking on Chair 2 Under Way

After a spell of warm, sunny weather, it really feels like winter now. The snow has been falling for several days straight now and is really helping with our snowmaking. We are currently working on terrain off Chair #2 and the Valley Area, which will open on November 21st. Along with the opening of the Valley, the Loveland Ski & Ride School opens on the 21st as well. Visit the Ski & Ride School's web page for more details on their great programs and even employment opportunities.

October 31st	Chair 6 Now Open!
	Halloween at Loveland treated skiers and riders to Chair 6, which opened today offering access to the intermediate run Roulette. Snowmaking has been going steady as we work on terrain off Chair 6 and down at the Valley and will continue to open more terrain as conditions permit. Weather conditions the past week have been just beautiful with temps reaching nearly fifty degrees during the day.

Spillway and Richards Run Now Open!

With over a foot of natural snow last week and round the clock snowmaking, we are excited to announce that Spillway and Richards Run are now open! These runs offer up some excellent intermediate terrain and will allow us to start focusing on other runs. The forecast is calling for temperatures to stay low over the next week, so our snowmakers will be hard at work getting more terrain open as soon as possible.

9 Inches of Fresh and Snowmaking Continues

Our snowmakers sure got a helping hand from Mother Nature last night with over 9 inches of fresh powder. It felt like the middle of January with the snow coming down this hard and pictures like the one to the left. It was definitely a powder day today!

Be sure to sign up for custom snow reports sent to your e-mail. You can choose daily reports, Friday reports, or a 6 inches or more alert. Never miss a powder day again!

October 21st	Snowmaking to Focus on New Runs
	With opening day under our belt, its time to move the snow guns and focus on other runs. Currently we are working on Spillway and Upper Richards. Weather conditions have been in our favor for snowmaking, so you should expect to see these runs open pretty soon. There is snow in the forecast for tonight, so keep your fingers crossed!

October 15th	Loveland Now Open for 2008 - 2009 Season
	Loveland officially opened for the 2008 - 2009 season today. Cold temperatures allowed our snowmakers to finish up the last little bit and get us open. There are 3 trails open, Catwalk, Mambo, and homerun which make a run nearly a mile long with 1000 vertical feet. Come and enjoy some of the best early season skiing and riding around. Adult lift tickets are only $44 and only $21 for kids.

Snowmaking Moves to the Base Area!

With most of the snowmaking up high complete, we have moved the snow guns down to the base area for the last little bit of Homerun. This means an opening day announcement isn't far off. A weekend storm gave us some natural snow, and consistently cold temperatures have allowed for round-the-clock snowmaking.

October 9th

Catwalk Snowmaking Complete!

It's Official! The snowmaking on Catwalk is complete. There is so much snow at the top of Chair 1 we had to bring the snow cat up there to groom it. As the snowmaking continues to make progress downhill, we get closer and closer to an opening day announcement. Looking ahead at the weather forecast we could be receiving some natural snowfall this weekend which would give our snowmakers a well deserved helping hand.

Looks and Feels Like Winter

With temperatures remaining cold throughout the day and snowmaking pictures like the one to the left, it definitely looks and feels like winter up here at Loveland! We've been able to make snow around the clock thanks to some cooperation from Mother Nature. At this pace, we'll be open before you know it!

October 6th

Cold Weather and Snowmaking Return

After a week of warm weather, Mother Nature gave us what we needed with a storm this weekend that dusted the mountain and allowed our snowmakers to fire up the guns. We were able to blow snow on Saturday and Sunday, and the weather forecast is looking promising for the next week. The coverage on Catwalk is looking amazing (just look at this picture of Rock House and the top of Chair 1!) and we are starting to move downhill. Stay tuned as we get closer to making an opening day announcement.

Snowmaking to Resume!

Although the temperatures over the past week have been too warm to make snow, the weather forecast is calling for a cool down this weekend with the chance for some natural snow as well. This change is exactly what we need to get the snow guns blowing again, so keep your fingers crossed and check back for an update early next week!

September 29th

Warm Weather Delays Snowmaking Progress

After a great night of snowmaking last week, temperatures have warmed up just a little to high for us to keep making snow. All the guns are in position and ready to go when the temps fall again. Looking at the forecast it appears that this week we could see the conditions we need, so keep your fingers crossed and check back to see if we were able to fire up the guns.

September 24th

Let the Snowmaking Begin!

Our snowmaking crew from New Zealand arrived just the other day and we put them to work right away. Conditions were perfect for snowmaking last night so we fired up the guns and made snow for the first time this season. We will continue to make snow as often as possible although everything is still dependant on Mother Nature.

While we still have a few weeks before we open, we will concentrate on upholding our high coverage standard; a minimum 18 inch base, tree-to-tree, top to bottom.

Test Firing the Guns!

After a good dusting over the weekend everyone's got the upcoming ski season on his or her mind! Our snowmakers were eager to test fire the snow-guns as they prepare for the temperatures to get a little cooler. Over the next week, we will continue to test fire the guns and position them on the hill. Last year we started blowing snow on September 23rd, and as long as Mother Nature cooperates, we should start around that date this year. Check back here as we will be updating our snow making progress frequently.
