It also has a stone staircase going up it, meaning it would require significant snowcover to be skiable now, and since they don't even have snowmaking on Roper's, I doubt they would put it on Pine even if it was open to skiing. |

Posted: Apr 08, 2008 - 10:23 AM GMT At an area Wachusett's size, you don't have to have hydrants on the trail to be 100% - a few lengths of hose will generally get a few guns on the trail, and pushing will cover it T2B. That is, if they want to. Capacity and actual snowmaking usage are two different things. __________ NewEnglandSkiHistory.com |

While he affirmed what rocket21 said, he also quipped, "It's 100% of what is going to have machine made snow." __________ Joshua Segal |

While they can probably do that on Upper Balance, they don't push it down Roper's Road nor do they ever use hoses to make snow on it, that trail is only open for a short time after a sizable storm. |
