WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – As temperatures drop, local ski hills are firing up their snow machines and gearing up for another season on the slopes.
Crews are cranking up the snow making machines as local ski hills are getting ready to open for the season.
Granite Peak Ski Resort in Wausau fired up their snowmaking machines this weekend, with perfect temps and humidity to create that fluffy, powdery snow skiers love. “To 28 degrees or below. We run as long as we can and then once it gets to be too warm then we stop,” says Nate Ropisarda, Content and Brand Manager at Midwest Family Ski.
He says the hill offers a beautiful view of Wausau and a place where many memories begin.
“We’ve been hearing a lot of excitement, and we’ve been getting a lot of phone calls today, cause people have been noticing that we’ve started to make snow. And that’s something that gets everybody excited,” says Rapisarda.
As long as temperatures stay cold, opening day could arrive as soon as thanksgiving weekend.
