Sundown Ski Resort Bucks Snow Shortage With Manufactured Snow
Iowa's cold season yields less natural snow with most resorts relying on fan guns to produce 98 percent of their snow at Sundown Ski Resort. Despite a warm winter last year, this season brings more visitors, more open runs, and higher snowmaking costs. Local retailers report weaker winter gear sales as riders seek options elsewhere. Weather experts caution that a late-season rebound is possible with predictions of more precipitation and cooler temperatures ahead.
