I think it was BlueDon who set up a web site last year that we could use to access the web cams of most east coast resorts. I think it may have been called "SnowCamsEast" of something like that. It seems that web site is no longer available.

BlueDon - can you get that web site back up and running? It was very usefull.

Let me see what I can do.  I let it expire to focus on some Snowshoe stuff.

Looking at the 7springs and hv webcams, many times, i noticed they arent making snow other than one or two spots and only every other gun is on? Its almost as if they really arent trying but know they must appear to be trying. Edit: I received word 7springs isnt planning much to open before jan 2 or 3. If you had told me that in oct I would have said you're crazy...

I'm not sure where you get that from.  Looks like an all-out assault on snowmaking to me.

The snowmakers at Seven Springs and other local resorts know what they're doing and they're trying to open as quickly as they can.  From a business standpoint, there are many variables they must juggle and it's a huge challenge this season so far -- probably one of the most challenging seasons on record.  I don't envy any of them.  Perhaps we shouldn't armchair-nitpick them?

Its also worth noting that they picked up some naturel snow.

Blowing snow on wagner and the newbie trail near wagner doesnt make a full on assault. Maybe they are saving pressure to apply max to those areas because they sold their desiel gens years back for electric rentals that output 1/3 what was possible before

I finally found the old template of SNOWCAMSEAST.  It may need some updates but have at it!
