Description
"How it Works, Ski Resorts!" Just like the popular show that gets inside the machines that make our world work.
Go behind the scenes for a two-hour tour with Hiram Towle of Sunday River Mountain Operations to see just how it all works.
Tour the snowmaking pump house and compressor house to see the power behind Sunday River's legendary snowmaking system.
Tour the motor room of a state of the art detachable ski lift and see how the chairs safely leave the cable and allow you to load easily, and are re-attached to send you uphill at 1000 feet per minute.
See the inner workings of a snow groomer and get to know just exactly how it turns out that fine corduroy surface.
Value... Priceless!
