Snowmaking crew makes the top cut

Cataloochee Ski Area is a finalist for the I AM a Snowmaker Award, given annually by SAM Magazine and HKD Snowmakers — but it needs votes from the public to win.

To enter, Cataloochee’s snowmaking crew created a video showing why it’s second only to mother nature and made it to the top six, along with crews from British Columbia in Canada to Copper Mountain, Colorado, to Sunday River Resort in Maine. 

SAM Magazine is the trade publication for the mountain resort industry, while HKD Snowmakers is a North American company that manufactures and supplies energy- efficient snowmaking technology. 

Vote at http://platform.votigo.com/votingapp/profiletab/2016-HKD-I-AM-a-Snowmaker by Thursday, March 31.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
