Snowmaking:
Bear Creek Makes snow at every opportunity to ensure the best experience that mother nature allows! With 94 guns, including 25 new automated snowguns, Bear Creek Mountain Resort & Conference Center has more snowmaking per acre than any other ski area in the region!

Snowmaking conditions are dependent on temperature and humidity. The combination of these two factors contributes to the Wet Bulb Temperature, which is the lowest temperature that can be obtained by evaporating water into the air. To make quality snow, the Wet Bulb Temperature needs to be 28° F or less. The lower the humidity, the higher the actual air temperature can be.

For example, in the rare circumstance that we have less than 15% humidity, Bear Creek can make quality snow when the actual air temperature is as high as 36° F. Conversely, during times of high humidity or 80% or more, it may not be possible to make snow even if the actual air temperature is less than 32° F. Once the temperature drops below 25° F, it is possible to make snow regardless of humidity.
