ARE WE MAKING SNOW?

This is what that snowmaking window of opportunity looks like for Swiss Valley:
• Several days with a majority of hours with temperatures below 28°
• Low humidity
• Minimal wind
Any time the temperatures, humidity or wind leave the ‘ideal’ area, we must turn off the snow guns – that means if daytime temperatures exceed 28°, winds pick up, it starts sleeting, etc.

Once we can start making snow, we need:
• 36+ hours of constant snowmaking to turn our grass from green to white.
• Another day to move the snow and groom it into skiable terrain.

As we face a 10-day forecast with rain and temperatures in the 40s  and 50s, we unfortunately can’t set an opening date at this time. As we begin to see more consistent snowmaking weather, we’ll turn the guns on and keep you posted!
