Willamette Pass Resort

Heather Roberts, FM News 101.

Last winter combined with the forecasted winter this year, well, it has resorts like Willamette Pass tripling the snowmaking capacity.

They're hoping that the gun fleet expansion will open up new terrain that was limited last season.

Resorts on Mount Hood are also struggling.

Uh, all, all three of the ones in New Mexico, Pajarito Ski Patrol, which was their first back in 2000, uh, Sandia Peak, really short on snowmaking.

Willamette Pass, same thing.

Uh, Nordic Valley was very small local ski area in Utah.

But they've invested and invested and invested.

But, but there's a lot, lot of exciting potential at Lee Canyon.

And, and that ski area, obviously it's, it's the only one serving the Las Vegas market, though you can get anywhere pretty fast from the Vegas airport and, including all the ski areas in Utah.

Uh, th- they are, MCP is also tripling their snowmaking capacity at Willamette Pass [laughs] in Oregon, whi- which is incredible.

Uh, that is a ski area that has traditionally had almost no snowmaking.
