Ski on manmade snow

Don't wait for winter

Our friend John Lupo from Friends of Lapham Peak sends this photo of snowmaking project engineer John McCarthy inspecting the newly arrived snowmaking pipe that will greatly expand the area that can be covered with manmade snow. We've been blessed with good snow winters the past two years, but we all know how important this project is in our climate if we want to ski early and ski often, and ski in the spring like we did this year. CLICK HERE to learn more about Friends of Lapham Peak and how you can be involved. Nice legs John.
