First you have to get a real long firehose, which we did not have & had to go get. Fortunately, they have extra ones that they carry around on firetrucks so we did that. Then you have to get the hose to fit w/ the snow gun which is not easy & ours kind of leaks but I think that is ok. Then you have to put the snow gun into position where you want it to make the snow. That is also not easy b/c the snow gun is real heavy. It is not really a gun atall it is more like a cannon, and it is not even like a cannon it is more like an antitank gun. Anyway, it is bigger then you think.

So we did all that last nite & then do you know what happend? That is right, it was sunrise & the whole place started to get warm & when we turned on the snowmaker machine it was like turning on a rainmaking machine. So we had to turn it off & will try again when it is colder.

And on top of all that, we still need to find a chair lift. I tell you what: making a ski area is harder then you think. It will probably take a few more days. I did not think it wld take so long.
