Snowmaking experiment

Craftsbury Outdoor Center, in Vermont, is one of the few nordic centers that make snow. They’ve been experimenting with making a huge pile when temps are right in February or March, then covering it with mulch to see how long it will last. I believe it is a project with some UVM science research department. They have provided snow for a small sledding and skiing event during the town’s July 4th party for a few years.

They are about to uncover it and spread it around.

Reminds me of the stories from my Mom when they would cover the ice in the ice house with hay to make it last.
