It involves water supply, energy, technical machinery, optimal conditions, and a whole lot of manpower.\nWater\nSnowmaking requires water.. and a lot of it! For instance, if you wanted to cover an acre with 1-foot of snow, one would need 175,000 gallons of water! With our improved snowmaking system, we are able to convert over 4,700 gallons-per-minute (or 282,000 gallons-per-hour) of water into snow, providing our riders with the best conditions possible!\nCold Temperatures\nThe second element snowmakers need to make snow is cool temperatures. While water can turn into snow crystals at 32°F (0°C), ideal snowmaking conditions call for temperatures 28°F or lower. The colder and drier the conditions, the more effective snowmaking becomes. Here at Massanutten, dawn is typically the coldest part of the day, but we may not start making snow unless we will have more than 1-hour of optimal conditions.\nLow Humidity \/ Wet Bulb Temperatures\nThe wet bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that can be obtained by evaporating water into the air at a constant pressure, and is the most critical factor for snowmaking. That’s because the threshold temperature for snowmaking increases as humidity decreases. But, that also means that as humidity increases, temperatures need to be lower for snowmaking. The magic number for snow making is a 27° wet bulb temperature.\nA Complex Snowmaking System\nOur snowmaking system consists of air lines, water lines, electrical lines, water hydrants, and snow guns. Essentially, air and water is pumped from holding ponds up the mountain and mixed at the snow gun to produce snow. A nozzle then produces tiny water droplets which freeze as they fall through the air to produce machine-made snow (NOTE: There is nothing “artificial” about machine-made snow). Snow made in this manner is not a flake but a 3-dimensional snow “crystal” that has a much greater density than natural snow, making it perfect for building base depth!\nSnowmakers & Groomers\nLast, but certainly not least, it takes a dedicated team of snowmakers and groomers to produce the best conditions all season long. Our snowmaking crew is constantly hard at work, whether they are prepping for the next cold spell or hiking the trails in the middle of the night, adjusting the guns. Then, our grooming staff comes in to get the slopes looking and feeling like there is a nice, fresh coat of snow for you to ride the next day.\nPLEASE NOTE:\nEven though we make snow whenever possible, once a “base” is put down and packed, it is not necessary to make snow every day to remain open. It takes longer than one might think for snow to melt away, even at well above freezing temperatures. That being said, you don’t need to find snow in your backyard to go skiing or snowboarding. We normally begin making snow in early to mid-December and remain open until early March, or as long as Mother Nature allows!\nFor more information about snowmaking check out the video below!\nWant to see if we've started making snow yet?

It involves water supply, energy, technical machinery, optimal conditions, and a whole lot of manpower.\n\n**Water**  \nSnowmaking requires water.. and a lot of it! For instance, if you wanted to cover an acre with 1-foot of snow, one would need 175,000 gallons of water! With our improved snowmaking system, we are able to convert over 4,700 gallons-per-minute (or 282,000 gallons-per-hour) of water into snow, providing our riders with the best conditions possible\\!\n\n**Cold Temperatures**  \nThe second element snowmakers need to make snow is cool temperatures. While water can turn into snow crystals at 32°F (0°C), ideal snowmaking conditions call for temperatures 28°F or lower. The colder and drier the conditions, the more effective snowmaking becomes. Here at Massanutten, dawn is typically the coldest part of the day, but we may not start making snow unless we will have more than 1-hour of optimal conditions.\n\n**Low Humidity \/ Wet Bulb Temperatures**  \nThe wet bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that can be obtained by evaporating water into the air at a constant pressure, and is the most critical factor for snowmaking. That’s because the threshold temperature for snowmaking increases as humidity decreases. But, that also means that as humidity increases, temperatures need to be lower for snowmaking. The magic number for snow making is a 27° wet bulb temperature.\n\n**A Complex Snowmaking System**  \nOur snowmaking system consists of air lines, water lines, electrical lines, water hydrants, and snow guns. Essentially, air and water is pumped from holding ponds up the mountain and mixed at the snow gun to produce snow. A nozzle then produces tiny water droplets which freeze as they fall through the air to produce machine-made snow (NOTE: There is nothing “artificial” about machine-made snow). Snow made in this manner is not a flake but a 3-dimensional snow “crystal” that has a much greater density than natural snow, making it perfect for building base depth\\!\n\n**Snowmakers & Groomers**  \nLast, but certainly not least, it takes a dedicated team of snowmakers and groomers to produce the best conditions all season long. Our snowmaking crew is constantly hard at work, whether they are prepping for the next cold spell or hiking the trails in the middle of the night, adjusting the guns. Then, our grooming staff comes in to get the slopes looking and feeling like there is a nice, fresh coat of snow for you to ride the next day.  \n  \n**PLEASE NOTE:** Even though we make snow whenever possible, once a “base” is put down and packed, it is not necessary to make snow every day to remain open. It takes longer than one might think for snow to melt away, even at well above freezing temperatures. That being said, you don’t need to find snow in your backyard to go skiing or snowboarding. We normally begin making snow in early to mid-December and remain open until early March, or as long as Mother Nature allows\\!\n\n##### **For more information about snowmaking check out the video below\\!**\nWant to see if we've started making snow yet?

It involves water supply, energy, technical machinery, optimal conditions, and a whole lot of manpower.\n\n**Water**  \nSnowmaking requires water.. and a lot of it! For instance, if you wanted to cover an acre with 1-foot of snow, one would need 175,000 gallons of water! With our improved snowmaking system, we are able to convert over 4,700 gallons-per-minute (or 282,000 gallons-per-hour) of water into snow, providing our riders with the best conditions possible\\!\n\n**Cold Temperatures**  \nThe second element snowmakers need to make snow is cool temperatures. While water can turn into snow crystals at 32°F (0°C), ideal snowmaking conditions call for temperatures 28°F or lower. The colder and drier the conditions, the more effective snowmaking becomes. Here at Massanutten, dawn is typically the coldest part of the day, but we may not start making snow unless we will have more than 1-hour of optimal conditions.\n\n**Low Humidity \/ Wet Bulb Temperatures**  \nThe wet bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that can be obtained by evaporating water into the air at a constant pressure, and is the most critical factor for snowmaking. That’s because the threshold temperature for snowmaking increases as humidity decreases. But, that also means that as humidity increases, temperatures need to be lower for snowmaking. The magic number for snow making is a 27° wet bulb temperature.\n\n**A Complex Snowmaking System**  \nOur snowmaking system consists of air lines, water lines, electrical lines, water hydrants, and snow guns. Essentially, air and water is pumped from holding ponds up the mountain and mixed at the snow gun to produce snow. A nozzle then produces tiny water droplets which freeze as they fall through the air to produce machine-made snow (NOTE: There is nothing “artificial” about machine-made snow). Snow made in this manner is not a flake but a 3-dimensional snow “crystal” that has a much greater density than natural snow, making it perfect for building base depth\\!\n\n**Snowmakers & Groomers**  \nLast, but certainly not least, it takes a dedicated team of snowmakers and groomers to produce the best conditions all season long. Our snowmaking crew is constantly hard at work, whether they are prepping for the next cold spell or hiking the trails in the middle of the night, adjusting the guns. Then, our grooming staff comes in to get the slopes looking and feeling like there is a nice, fresh coat of snow for you to ride the next day.\n\n**PLEASE NOTE:** Even though we make snow whenever possible, once a “base” is put down and packed, it is not necessary to make snow every day to remain open. It takes longer than one might think for snow to melt away, even at well above freezing temperatures. That being said, you don’t need to find snow in your backyard to go skiing or snowboarding. We normally begin making snow in early to mid-December and remain open until early March, or as long as Mother Nature allows\\!\n##### **For more information about snowmaking check out the video below\\!**\nWant to see if we've started making snow yet?

Our Reload. Reuse Cards (season passes and reloadable day passes) give you direct-to-lift access —no need to stop by the ticket window. Each lift has an RFID gate that automatically scans your card and grants access based on your ticket type and time of day. Skip the Ticket Window! 1. Buy online – Purchase your slope-use ticket in advance. 2. Pick up at a kiosk – Use one of our Express Kiosks to print or pick up your Reload. Reuse Card . 3. Reuse for next time – Keep your card! You can reload additional ski days online and go straight to the slopes without waiting in line. Learn more on our RFID Reloading Guide here. How to use your Reload. Reuse Card: 1. Place your card by itself in your LEFT jacket pocket. - Avoid keeping phones, credit cards, or foil in the same pocket. 2. Keep the card in your pocket as you approach the lift gate—only one card per person. 3. The RFID gate will open automatically when scanned. Do not punch a hole in your card. It will damage the antenna. A $20 replacement fee applies for damaged cards. RFID FAQ’s RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification —a wireless technology that reads your lift ticket or pass automatically as you pass through the gate. Nope! Keep it in your left-side pocket and it will scan through your jacket. Just make sure no other electronic devices are in the same pocket, as they may interfere with scanning. Your WTP number is the unique ID for your RFID card. You’ll find it on the back of your lift ticket—it’s a 14-character code (example: XXXXXXXX-XXX-XXX). 1. Choose the Reload option on the Slope Use Ticket Calendar. 2. Select your new ski date. 3. Enter your name, date of birth, and WTP number when prompted. 4. Complete your purchase and you’re ready to hit the slopes! Need a step-by-step visual? Check out our RFID Reloading Guide here. Yes.

Snowmaking 101 When nature doesn't cooperate by providing natural snow, our snowmakers take over, but it takes a lot more than just cool temperatures to fire up the snowguns. What does it take to make snow? Snowmaking is a complicated equation. It involves water supply, energy, technical machinery, optimal conditions, and a whole lot of manpower. Water Snowmaking requires water.. and a lot of it! For instance, if you wanted to cover an acre with 1-foot of snow, one would need 175,000 gallons of water! With our improved snowmaking system, we are able to convert over 4,700 gallons-per-minute (or 282,000 gallons-per-hour) of water into snow, providing our riders with the best conditions possible! Cold Temperatures The second element snowmakers need to make snow is cool temperatures. While water can turn into snow crystals at 32°F (0°C), ideal snowmaking conditions call for temperatures 28°F or lower. The colder and drier the conditions, the more effective snowmaking becomes. Here at Massanutten, dawn is typically the coldest part of the day, but we may not start making snow unless we will have more than 1-hour of optimal conditions. Low Humidity / Wet Bulb Temperatures The wet bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that can be obtained by evaporating water into the air at a constant pressure, and is the most critical factor for snowmaking. That’s because the threshold temperature for snowmaking increases as humidity decreases. But, that also means that as humidity increases, temperatures need to be lower for snowmaking. The magic number for snow making is a 27° wet bulb temperature. A Complex Snowmaking System Our snowmaking system consists of air lines, water lines, electrical lines, water hydrants, and snow guns. Essentially, air and water is pumped from holding ponds up the mountain and mixed at the snow gun to produce snow. A nozzle then produces tiny water droplets which freeze as they fall through the air to produce machine-made snow (NOTE: There is nothing “artificial” about machine-made snow). Snow made in this manner is not a flake but a 3-dimensional snow “crystal” that has a much greater density than natural snow, making it perfect for building base depth! Snowmakers & Groomers Last, but certainly not least, it takes a dedicated team of snowmakers and groomers to produce the best conditions all season long. Our snowmaking crew is constantly hard at work, whether they are prepping for the next cold spell or hiking the trails in the middle of the night, adjusting the guns. Then, our grooming staff comes in to get the slopes looking and feeling like there is a nice, fresh coat of snow for you to ride the next day. PLEASE NOTE: Even though we make snow whenever possible, once a “base” is put down and packed, it is not necessary to make snow every day to remain open. It takes longer than one might think for snow to melt away, even at well above freezing temperatures. That being said, you don’t need to find snow in your backyard to go skiing or snowboarding. We normally begin making snow in early to mid-December and remain open until early March, or as long as Mother Nature allows! For more information about snowmaking check out the video below!

Our Reload. Reuse Cards (season passes and reloadable day passes) give you direct-to-lift access—no need to stop by the ticket window. Each lift has an RFID gate that automatically scans your card and grants access based on your ticket type and time of day. * ##### Skip the Ticket Window\! 1\. Buy online – Purchase your slope-use ticket in advance. 2\. Pick up at a kiosk – Use one of our Express Kiosks to print or pick up your Reload. Reuse Card. 3\. Reuse for next time – Keep your card! You can reload additional ski days online and go straight to the slopes without waiting in line. Learn more on our [RFID Reloading Guide here.](https://www.massresort.com/upload/photos/page_1232_rfid-reloading-guide-2025.pdf "RFID Reloading Guide here") * ##### How to use your Reload. Reuse Card: 1\. Place your card by itself in your LEFT jacket pocket. - Avoid keeping phones, credit cards, or foil in the same pocket. 2\. Keep the card in your pocket as you approach the lift gate—only one card per person. 3\. The RFID gate will open automatically when scanned. Do not punch a hole in your card. It will damage the antenna. A \$20 replacement fee applies for damaged cards. #### RFID FAQ’s [back to Snow Sports](https://www.massresort.com/play/snow-sports/) [What is RFID](https://www.massresort.com/play/snow-sports/hours-rates/#faq-collapse-19-219) RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification—a wireless technology that reads your lift ticket or pass automatically as you pass through the gate. [Do I need to show my pass at the lift?](https://www.massresort.com/play/snow-sports/hours-rates/#faq-collapse-19-220) Nope! Keep it in your left-side pocket and it will scan through your jacket. Just make sure no other electronic devices are in the same pocket, as they may interfere with scanning. [What is WTP?](https://www.massresort.com/play/snow-sports/hours-rates/#faq-collapse-19-221) Your WTP number is the unique ID for your RFID card. You’ll find it on the back of your lift ticket—it’s a 14-character code (example: XXXXXXXX-XXX-XXX). [How do I reload a lift ticket online?](https://www.massresort.com/play/snow-sports/hours-rates/#faq-collapse-19-222) 1\. Choose the Reload option on the Slope Use Ticket Calendar. 2\. Select your new ski date. 3\. Enter your name, date of birth, and WTP number when prompted. 4\. Complete your purchase and you’re ready to hit the slopes! Need a step-by-step visual? Check out our [RFID Reloading Guide here.](https://www.massresort.com/upload/photos/page_1232_rfid-reloading-guide-2025.pdf "RFID Reloading Guide here") [Will I need to print my physical ticket first before I reload?](https://www.massresort.com/play/snow-sports/hours-rates/#faq-collapse-19-223) Yes. Please complete your first purchase and print your physical ticket at one of our kiosks or with a cashier at the ticket window. Once printed, you’ll see your WTP number on the back. Please use that number to reload online for future visits. [Is there a limit to how many times I can reload a lift ticket for the season?](https://www.massresort.com/play/snow-sports/hours-rates/#faq-collapse-19-224) Is There a Limit to How Many Times I Can Reload? No limit! Reload your card as many times as you’d like throughout the season. If you plan to visit often, check out our Season Pass options for the best value\! ## Policies #### Massanutten Ski Area is committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and respectful environment for all guests and employees.

Snowmaking is a complicated equation. It involves water supply, energy, technical machinery, optimal conditions, and a whole lot of manpower. Water Snowmaking requires water.. and a lot of it! For instance, if you wanted to cover an acre with 1-foot of snow, one would need 175,000 gallons of water! With our improved snowmaking system, we are able to convert over 4,700 gallons-per-minute (or 282,000 gallons-per-hour) of water into snow, providing our riders with the best conditions possible\! Cold Temperatures The second element snowmakers need to make snow is cool temperatures. While water can turn into snow crystals at 32°F (0°C), ideal snowmaking conditions call for temperatures 28°F or lower. The colder and drier the conditions, the more effective snowmaking becomes. Here at Massanutten, dawn is typically the coldest part of the day, but we may not start making snow unless we will have more than 1-hour of optimal conditions. Low Humidity / Wet Bulb Temperatures The wet bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that can be obtained by evaporating water into the air at a constant pressure, and is the most critical factor for snowmaking. That’s because the threshold temperature for snowmaking increases as humidity decreases. But, that also means that as humidity increases, temperatures need to be lower for snowmaking. The magic number for snow making is a 27° wet bulb temperature. A Complex Snowmaking System Our snowmaking system consists of air lines, water lines, electrical lines, water hydrants, and snow guns. Essentially, air and water is pumped from holding ponds up the mountain and mixed at the snow gun to produce snow. A nozzle then produces tiny water droplets which freeze as they fall through the air to produce machine-made snow (NOTE: There is nothing “artificial” about machine-made snow). Snow made in this manner is not a flake but a 3-dimensional snow “crystal” that has a much greater density than natural snow, making it perfect for building base depth\! Snowmakers & Groomers Last, but certainly not least, it takes a dedicated team of snowmakers and groomers to produce the best conditions all season long. Our snowmaking crew is constantly hard at work, whether they are prepping for the next cold spell or hiking the trails in the middle of the night, adjusting the guns. Then, our grooming staff comes in to get the slopes looking and feeling like there is a nice, fresh coat of snow for you to ride the next day. PLEASE NOTE: Even though we make snow whenever possible, once a “base” is put down and packed, it is not necessary to make snow every day to remain open. It takes longer than one might think for snow to melt away, even at well above freezing temperatures. That being said, you don’t need to find snow in your backyard to go skiing or snowboarding. We normally begin making snow in early to mid-December and remain open until early March, or as long as Mother Nature allows\! ##### For more information about snowmaking check out the video below\!

Our Reload. Reuse Cards (season passes and reloadable day passes) give you direct-to-lift access—no need to stop by the ticket window. Each lift has an RFID gate that automatically scans your card and grants access based on your ticket type and time of day. * ##### Skip the Ticket Window\! 1\. Buy online – Purchase your slope-use ticket in advance. 2\. Pick up at a kiosk – Use one of our Express Kiosks to print or pick up your Reload. Reuse Card. 3\. Reuse for next time – Keep your card! You can reload additional ski days online and go straight to the slopes without waiting in line. Learn more on our [RFID Reloading Guide here.](https://www.massresort.com/upload/photos/page_1232_rfid-reloading-guide-2025.pdf "RFID Reloading Guide here") * ##### How to use your Reload. Reuse Card: 1\. Place your card by itself in your LEFT jacket pocket. - Avoid keeping phones, credit cards, or foil in the same pocket. 2\. Keep the card in your pocket as you approach the lift gate—only one card per person. 3\. The RFID gate will open automatically when scanned. Do not punch a hole in your card. It will damage the antenna. A \$20 replacement fee applies for damaged cards. #### RFID FAQ’s RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification—a wireless technology that reads your lift ticket or pass automatically as you pass through the gate. Nope! Keep it in your left-side pocket and it will scan through your jacket. Just make sure no other electronic devices are in the same pocket, as they may interfere with scanning. Your WTP number is the unique ID for your RFID card. You’ll find it on the back of your lift ticket—it’s a 14-character code (example: XXXXXXXX-XXX-XXX). 1\. Choose the Reload option on the Slope Use Ticket Calendar. 2\. Select your new ski date. 3\. Enter your name, date of birth, and WTP number when prompted. 4\. Complete your purchase and you’re ready to hit the slopes! Need a step-by-step visual? Check out our [RFID Reloading Guide here.](https://www.massresort.com/upload/photos/page_1232_rfid-reloading-guide-2025.pdf "RFID Reloading Guide here") Yes. Please complete your first purchase and print your physical ticket at one of our kiosks or with a cashier at the ticket window. Once printed, you’ll see your WTP number on the back. Please use that number to reload online for future visits. Is There a Limit to How Many Times I Can Reload? No limit! Reload your card as many times as you’d like throughout the season. If you plan to visit often, check out our Season Pass options for the best value\! ## Policies #### Massanutten Ski Area is committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and respectful environment for all guests and employees.

Snowmaking is a complicated equation. It involves water supply, energy, technical machinery, optimal conditions, and a whole lot of manpower. Water Snowmaking requires water.. and a lot of it! For instance, if you wanted to cover an acre with 1-foot of snow, one would need 175,000 gallons of water! With our improved snowmaking system, we are able to convert over 4,700 gallons-per-minute (or 282,000 gallons-per-hour) of water into snow, providing our riders with the best conditions possible\! Cold Temperatures The second element snowmakers need to make snow is cool temperatures. While water can turn into snow crystals at 32°F (0°C), ideal snowmaking conditions call for temperatures 28°F or lower. The colder and drier the conditions, the more effective snowmaking becomes. Here at Massanutten, dawn is typically the coldest part of the day, but we may not start making snow unless we will have more than 1-hour of optimal conditions. Low Humidity / Wet Bulb Temperatures The wet bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that can be obtained by evaporating water into the air at a constant pressure, and is the most critical factor for snowmaking. That’s because the threshold temperature for snowmaking increases as humidity decreases. But, that also means that as humidity increases, temperatures need to be lower for snowmaking. The magic number for snow making is a 27° wet bulb temperature. A Complex Snowmaking System Our snowmaking system consists of air lines, water lines, electrical lines, water hydrants, and snow guns. Essentially, air and water is pumped from holding ponds up the mountain and mixed at the snow gun to produce snow. A nozzle then produces tiny water droplets which freeze as they fall through the air to produce machine-made snow (NOTE: There is nothing “artificial” about machine-made snow). Snow made in this manner is not a flake but a 3-dimensional snow “crystal” that has a much greater density than natural snow, making it perfect for building base depth\! Snowmakers & Groomers Last, but certainly not least, it takes a dedicated team of snowmakers and groomers to produce the best conditions all season long. Our snowmaking crew is constantly hard at work, whether they are prepping for the next cold spell or hiking the trails in the middle of the night, adjusting the guns. Then, our grooming staff comes in to get the slopes looking and feeling like there is a nice, fresh coat of snow for you to ride the next day. PLEASE NOTE: Even though we make snow whenever possible, once a “base” is put down and packed, it is not necessary to make snow every day to remain open. It takes longer than one might think for snow to melt away, even at well above freezing temperatures. That being said, you don’t need to find snow in your backyard to go skiing or snowboarding. We normally begin making snow in early to mid-December and remain open until early March, or as long as Mother Nature allows\! ##### For more information about snowmaking check out the video below\!
