Capital Improvements Blog - More snowmaking...

With the new line in place on Gondi Extension crews shifted focus this week to Peavey Crosscut and tying the new mainline into Sidewinder, Narrow Guage, Boardwalk, and Lower Winters Way. Basically what this means is a whole lotta welding and a whole lotta pipe pulling. Tools of choice include two welding trucks, an excavator, and a little tank-like beast we like to call "The Bomb." Once these lines are tied in construction will begin on the new valve box, and then we'll start welding hydrants into place. Then it's off to the races. Overnight temps are starting to get mighty chilly here in the valley, and it won't be long before all of these new lines are fired up. Check out pics below...

Welding, welding, and more welding.

This is the Bomb, and this is how we fix the Bomb when the Bomb has problems.

Peavey, at the bottom of Comp Hill. The pad on the right is where the new valve box will be.

Connecting the new main line to a whole bunch of different trails.

Ethan, Can you please clarify how access will be gained to the new gladed area? I understand that you can access most of it via the top of King Pine, but what about at the bottom? My understanding is that for now is that this area is accessible by…

Does anyone know what the impact to the cross-country trails and the dog trail above Snowbrook will be? Will we still be able to hike Burnt in Winter?
