There's Snow at Mount Peter!

Each week on our Facebook Page we have the "Tuesday Test." In a nutshell, we post a picture taken at Mount Peter and you try to tell us what/where you think it is.


Our last "test" on December 27 was a cropped picture of our shiny red PistenBully snow grooming machine. 


For those of you who are interested, we wanted to give you a little more detail about it because it's actually a pretty cool piece of equipment. Here's the whole image...

Our PistenBully is Awesome!

As a skier or rider at Mount Peter you likely won't see this machine out working. You can tell it does most of its work after hours by the large lights on the top and sides.


Youngsters compared to us (Mount Peter opened in 1936), PistenBulley started making snow grooming machines in 1969. The key features - low center of gravity, maneuverability and wide tracks - allow it to groom straight up the steepest terrain including Dynamite and Wild West.

This machine and all our other snow making equipment is nothing without our dedicated Mountain Operations team. 


Like the PistenBully, you likely won't see many of them while you're skiing or snowboarding at Mount Peter. A snow makers "day" usually starts when the sun goes down and ends around sunrise. 


Mother Nature has been testing our patience so far this year. When you look out your window there's no snow on the ground. But rest assured, there is snow for skiing and snowboarding at Mount Peter in nearby Warwick, New York thanks to these hard working guys.


So, here's a shout out to our snow makers! Thanks for making the best snow in the region!
