Pamps - Canon coverage

Given that we only have a weeks experience under our belt, it would be useful to know how much of the resort would remain accessible to us if the present conditions continue. Last year we pretty much started at the top and followed the long green route all the way back to the bottom near the Snow Shack, and with 6 and 7 year old kids ...

Last year we pretty much started at the top and followed the long green route all the way back to the bottom near the Snow Shack, and with 6 and 7 year old kids we'd be looking at pretty much the same again. Obviously there's no way to tell from the webcams how much of the rest of the mountain is skiiable, so any feedback from the mountain would be great.

Here's hoping!

To answer your question Maggot; Pamps doesn't currently have a great deal of snow cannons but the few that they do have work overtime. I believe that they are looking to invest in a lot more cannons sometime in the near future.

re: Pamps - Canon coverage

Given the dire view from the SnowShack webcam, and mention made in another thread that a whole raft of new snow cannons were purchased a couple of weeks ago, a) how are the pistes managed in the warm conditions currently being experienced?, and b) are the new cannons being used yet?

Question

Water is needed to supply the new cannons. I have heard on the grapevine that there may be new lakes constructed to hold the water
