Even though it's just July, snow is already on our minds here in Summit County! Keystone recently struck a deal with Denver Water to secure the slopes being covered in blankets of white throughout early-season snow making! The resort relies on pumping as much as 1,500 acre feet of water from the Roberts Tunnel each season between September 1st and March 31st. Roberts Tunnel is owned by Denver Water.
That part, isn't whats out of the ordinary. This part is:
Denver water had scheduled necessary repairs to start this November and last all the way through April, 2011. The tunnel is 50 years old and requires repairs that must occur while the tunnel is drained. This would have made the water unavailable for Keystone throughout the entire season. Thankfully, Denver water agreed to delay the start date of construction until December 15th in order to give Keystone time to be able to provide quality ski conditions by the holidays!
If that isn't the
Holiday spirit, then I don't know what is!
