FROM Caberfae Peaks >> We have received 75” of natural snow as of January 4th this season. It took until the end of February to reach that number last season. 🥂 🍻 to 2025!
Snowmaking Update: The snow machines have been running non-stop since Sunday at 5 pm. It’s been a great run, the snowpack is huge, and the crew will be shutting the guns down before we open today at 10 am. #caberfaepeaks #snowphotos #caberfaepeakssnow #snowmaking #SkiMichiganWe have received 75” of natural snow as of January 4th this season.

Great!!! Unless- you are there skiing through the pelting ice as it makes snow. Or riding the lift in a white out with a blaring hum of the machines. Goggles covered in ice and low visibility. Payed good money to ski in Not great conditions. Love you Caberfae Peaks….. just NOT TODAY! Ok trolls- beat me up for my opinion!

Snowmaking Improvements for 2020 - 2021:

After adding another snowmaking pump, we have also added to our source water by drilling another well. To keep our snowmaking plant in balance, we need to fill the reservoir and cooling ponds as fast as we pump it out. What does this all mean? More snow, more efficiently, and in less time!

Snowmaking Improvements for 2019 - 2020:

FROM CABERFAE PEAKS - September 4, 2019 - Our “What’s New Wednesday” series is back! We are busy getting ready for the upcoming ski season and we will highlight some of the off season improvements over the next few months on Wednesdays.

The crew is currently installing a new 12” snowmaking pipeline coming out of the pumphouse. The new 12” pipe replaces 1000 feet of old 8” pipe. The larger pipe will result in more water flow, better pressure, and less friction loss, which translates into more snow, made faster & more efficiently.

Gotta keep feeding those snow guns!

Snowmaking Improvements for 2017 - 2018:

WHAT'S NEW for 2017 - 2018 at Caberfae Peaks.... Snowmaking expansion at the top of North Peak... New Snowmaking Machines – 4 new SMI PoleCats and 1 new SMI Super Polecat... A new Prinoth BR 350 snow grooming vehicle...

 


New Snow Machines – 4 new SMI PoleCats and 1 new SMI Super Polecat

 


More snowmaking improvements with a new 6″ trunk line up Smiling Irishmen.

 


Snowmaking expansion at the top of North Peak, with the addition of larger snowmaking pipe. The 6″ diameter pipe will allow for less friction loss and higher water pressure, which translates into increased snow production at the top of our ski hill.

 


Our focus on snow quality continues with the acquisition of a Prinoth BR 350 snow grooming vehicle. The groomer will process the snow much more efficiently and layout that beautiful corduroy that our skiers and riders have grown to know and love.

Snowmaking Improvements for 2016 / 2017 - 5 New Snow Machines for the Upcoming Season
