4 New Tower Guns

You may notice four new tower snowmaking guns on the hill this winter. Back in the early summer, the snowmaking team was busy installing new equipment on Lenawee Face, Dercum's Gulch, Lenawee Traverse (just above the bottom of the Lenawee Express) and Sundance. While not ideal for every single location, a tower gun in the right spot can make a big difference in our snowmaking. The elevated fan gun gives each water droplet more hang time, allowing more of them to freeze, making more snow and spreading the snow over a wider area.
