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 :-)

Mount Snow celebrates 50th birthday with 'frozen geyser'

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Mount Snow, one of Vermont's major ski resorts, is marking its 50th anniversary this weekend with a 'Sinatra cover band', bargain lift tickets and "the return of the legendary Fountain Mountain, a man-made frozen geyser that sprung from Snow Lake in the 1960s."

Special themed weekends will continue through the ski season to mark each decade of the resort's history...

Will this 'frozen geyser' be the big attraction? It goes back to the founder of the resort, Horace Walt Schoenknecht, who brought the contraption to the resort as a surprise attraction in the 1960s.

"Walter was a very extravagant man" says David Meeker, Mount Snow's public relations coordinator. "He liked to come back from his travels with things he had found, and one of them was an enormous geyser. He put it in Snow Lake, where we take the water from to make snow, and put a geyser in the middle that shot 300 feet in the air. Since it was going all the time, it would freeze and just looked unbelievable."
