Stop the press - ski resort does what it should be doing anyway!
Snow farming would be trapping/growing snow tae be used on areas that need it, moving snow fae one area tae another would be some serious snow moving...
Creating furrows outta snow north tae south then pushing out what gets trapped in between them is probably the best old skool method of farming snow I've seen, when nature provides that is.. For lean times snow making wins, press a button and create some fattys, nature aint predictable and when the sun shines ya gotta make hay, if yer in the hay business...
Good insulation and a reflective covering on top facing the sun would help keep the snow fae melting, looked like cheap bubble wrap wi mylar on top that was on some piles of snow in Sochi. But making land that's easily workable take less snow tae open would be mair beneficial in the long term.....
Guy I know says lights are a waste of time and energy, but I get more chillies, tomatoes and cucumbers than him every year, if we relied on nature tae feed ourselves we'd be pan bread
