there was actually an article about wildcat in the Boston Herald yesterday, and mentioned that it was for sale last year, but wasn't on the markey anymore. But, if this is the case, maybe it's up for sale again
most smaller places burn off their snow making budget around this time of year. Our local ones usually shut down the systems by the end of january. The idea is to get the mountain covered and open as quick as possible then let the natural snow keep it going. This year mother nature hasnt helped and alot of places are going to be thin.
Also many places have restriction on the amount of water they can use from whatever source they draw off.
