snow cannons boro...

can anyone say if the snow cannons have been running in the resort been looking on the web cams but doesn't look as though they have...

think borosport need to invest in more cannons for the top if its colder up there they should be able to get the markujik slopes open snow or no snow especially if this is the way of things in january now!

Had a talk with Kas about this over Christmas. Supposedly Borosports want to invest in a reservoir up top so they have water for the cannons. Always colder up there and so cannons could run and snow would last longer. Supposedly environmentalists are objecting to it!
