first, dude not midwest or east coast, we rairly see lower then 30 west of the mts. so a snowmaker aint gonna shit but make your water and electicity bill go up. if you wanna ski in the no snow season, get some balls and hike up to the snowfields on Rainer its like a 1 1/2h hike with all your shit to get to the snow level in JULY, ohh but bring sunscreen cuz it was in the 70s. and damn were we red. and secondly your a duschebag for taking that rail...i would have done the same if i had thought of it first
