After a warm start to the ski season, Vermont’s mountains finally have some good powder. But when the weather doesn’t cooperate, ski resorts often have their own snow. Snow making is expensive, and it takes a lot of energy. These days, many Vermont ski resorts are upgrading their systems to be more energy efficient.
General manager of Jay Peak Resort and chairman of the Vermont Ski Association Steve Wright talked about the decision-making process of when to make snow. Senior account manager at Efficiency Vermont Chuck Clerici also joined the conversation. He’s worked with 20 alpine ski areas in the state. Efficiency Vermont helps both individuals and businesses use less energy.
