Snow farming!



We don't blow snow here at White Grass, so Chip and the crew have to work at making sure we keep what we get. That's where snowfarming comes in. There's a whole elaborate system of fences that have to be put up, pulled down and moved around to make sure we get as much as we can and build a strong base. The stronger the base, the longer the season. Here's a shot of me and Ben working at snowfarming. He's putting together one of the pre-fab kind they've got here, and I'm lining up a chevron to weave through a roll of fencing and then knock in with a sledgehammer.
