Season 4, Episode 37 - The Pocono Mountains has long been a pioneer in snowmaking from the early days at Big Boulder to today where the biggest and most advanced operation is at Blue Mountain Resort (https://www.poconomountains.com/listing/blue-mountain-resort/1129/ ) in Palmerton. The crews there have been cranking out the white stuff full bore this winter with some very cold temperatures (they needed that) and a large investment in the technology that makes the mountain one of the industry leaders. The resort has 40 trails open, which is such a testament to the work behind the scenes to make snow even when Mother Nature doesn't provide it!
