Mount Snow geyser debuts as symbol of Vermont future
Lt Gov Daley pushes button as water erupts from a high fountain at Mount Snow, believed the world’s tallest in a year round recreation plan. Officials say pumps deliver 10,000 gallons per minute to lift 30 tons of water into a 350 foot plume, part of a broader expansion including a gondola, tramway, golf course, and air strip to diversify Vermont tourism. Daley advocates government and private cooperation to attract people and dollars to the state. Funeral details for Joseph A. LaFlamme include a Requiem High Mass at Sacred Heart Church and services with local fire department honors.
