GUNRUNNERS

Embark on an exhilarating journey with Jackson Hole’s elite snowmakers. In collaboration with award-winning filmmaker Jill Gareffi, director of “The Crow's Nest", we bring you a behind-the-scenes short film that delves into the world of snowmaking, known as the ski industry’s most dangerous job. Dedicated expert crews work around the clock through sometimes unimaginably cold and risky conditions, enabling the Resort to open earlier and stay open later, all while upholding our commitment to environmental initiatives and fostering a culture of employee excellence.

Really cool story! Love seeing the light shined on those who may not get the most recognition but make such a large impact on the day-to-day of the mountain

snowmakers are different breed, we don’t do it for the glory but for the love of the mountain

[seriousconcerns]

as a snowmaker i can say that it is a ton of fun but the bullshit never ends. Theres always something breaking or freezing, or you go to change a valve in the valve house only to find that the pipes have settled and they no longer align so you have to spend the next 4 hours trying to find somthing to attach a chain hoist to that isnt made of plywood in 5 degree weather

"State of the art snowmaking system." <uses highlanders> XD
