Cool runnings
Producing snow for the slopes at Heavenly Mountain Resort will use less energy this year due to brand new snow guns. Ten Viking V2 snow guns were installed at the resort, which create snow by mixing compressed air with cool water.
Heavenly will be rebated $29,913 from NV Energy for the project, and the new guns are estimated to save the resort 378,000 kilowatt hours of electricity and reduce carbon emissions by 283 tons.
