I confirmed it via Timberlines webcam that they are making snow at 1am. The lights are on and it appears to be several inches near the snowguns already on the ground. I can't be for sure since it is night out... but their cam is well worth a very encouraging look and being that it's 23*f up there... let the SNOW FALL!!!

Still blowing snow at 8:53 AM. Looks good for TLine.

One thing... I looked at both 7S and Wisp webcams this morning as well. 7S has some flurries that dusted their front side. But there doesn't seem to be much new snow on their cams. Its hard to tell from some of the angles though. The stowe and wegner slope cams seem to to show some snow maing activity on those slopes. At this time I can only see one gun working at 7S on their fawnlane webcam. Their website is reporting 29F temps. Where are the guns?

There is a dusting at wisp as well and there seems to be some fresh snow made on their magic carpet served trail on the front side. However you can see the damage caused by last weeks rain in other areas where the snow has melted almost completely away.

remember - its all about the wet bulb temp

Hey John, Do you have a link to the Snowmaking article that you or someone else wrote on this site? I am too lazy to find it.

Where is the second webcam gonna be located at??

There's one cam for now. In future, who knows, maybe one at mid-station and on the summit. It will be up to Doug and the T-line management to make that call.

Too bad Timberline wouldn't put up a vote for say... 4 possible places and then let the winner select it. I'd like to see a second cam at...

1.) Summit on the Thunderdraft chairlift giving a nearly 300* view from the salamander, down off the side of the mountain and over to where that new trail is gonna start.

2.) Mid station giving views of riders unloading and panning around to Dew Drop, Upper Almost Heaven, and Thunderstruck.

3.) Over on the Winterset condos looking up the mountain where the new trail is at, out towards the turn and looking up where dew drop is coming off of, and down by the tunnel.

4.) Attached to one of the buildings looking up towards the lower dew drop terrain park.

5.) And EVERYONE's favorite place... the pumphouse.

I vote for the Summit. Sitting in my office watching the snow fall would make the day a little more bearable!!!

As for making snow, WE NEED SOME COLD WEATHER!!!

If you look at the cam now, you'll notice that the slope lights are on--that would imply that the snowmakers will be out again tonight. Temps tonight should be good.

PS As people probably suspect, I keep the Timberline webcam window minimized on my desktop at all times. I love it and check it VERY frequently.

I don't know if the pumphouse is the best idea. It'd be hard for people to argue they acidentally slid that way when the tape shows them prepping for the rooftop!

It does look great, I also have the web cam up. But, early next week doesn't look promising rain Monday and Tuesday!!! But, turning colder after!!!!!!

The lights and guns were on all night and at 9:30 this morning (Sat) the guns are still going strong from summit to base!!
