Snowmaking 101
Each year, Cranmore invests more and more into their snowmaking arsenal. With 365 high efficiency snow guns, and a focus on refining its snowmaking process to offer more terrain and better snow surfaces earlier in the year, 7 stages are carefully planned to cover 155 acres and 15.3 miles of terrain, or 98% of Cranmore’s skiable terrain.

If Mother Nature cooperates, based upon the average of snowmaking temperatures before December 25th, this year Cranmore has a very high probability of having over 34 trails open by Christmas. Here’s how:
-
We purchased 60 more snow guns – now 365 high efficiency tower guns with 708 matched hoses, covering 155 acres and 15.3 miles of terrain.
-
We are meticulously relocating guns to better take advantage of wind direction, slope width and pitch, plus base depth.
-
Within 335 hours of snowmaking, initial base on 7 carefully defined phases, we can cover 47 trails, 5 terrain parks and a race training area. Take a look at the snowmaking maps below.
