Officials said an improvement project to the snowmaking system at Seven Springs replaced nearly 5,000 feet of aging 20-inch piping.
“This major project greatly improves consistency in water pressure and overall snow quality across a vast swath of the resort’s skiable acreage,” the news release said.
