Mail for help.Help!!
Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

"15% of US snowmaking is automated ... 98% in Europe" - Economist report
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

The stark contrast between America's ageing approach to snowmaking - manual, with little computerisation and automation - and Europe's highly-automated systems, which have nearly all appeared in the past 20 years - is highlighted in this report from The Economist.
Quote:
To cover a slope with enough snow to ski on, guns must be stationed about 15-30 metres apart, so hundreds are needed at the average resort. That is expensive, as is the compressed air required to feed the guns. The power bills at big resorts can be several hundred thousand dollars a month, according to Mr Vik.

It is no surprise, therefore, that snowmaking in America is changing as energy prices rise.

That's interesting, it relates to a conversation on snowmaking GregH and I were having on another thread.
