Skyline Bear Valley Invests in Snowmaking and Grooming
Posted by: thepinetree on 09/15/2016 12:24 PM
Bear Valley, CA...Bear Valley is thrilled to announce more than $300,000 of improvements in its snowmaking and grooming operations in anticipation of the 2016-17 season. The enhancements include a better and more efficient snowmaking system along with new snowcats to groom the increased production of snow. Bear Valley’s new snowmaking system includes upgraded pumping capacity to the snowmaking holding pond at the top of the mountain. “This will allow us to operate continuously during optimum temperatures for snow making,” says Bear Valley’s snow product manager, Tim Schimke. “The upgrade will provide the ability to move from 500 gallons per minute to nearly 1400 gallons per minute. This important improvement will allow uninterrupted operation of our snowmaking system for weeks at a time, translating into more snow production.”
