Vail Snowmaking is a 30-person team working around the clock to give skiers and riders at one of the US’s iconic mountains a world class snow surface. Comprised of many first-time snowmakers and seasoned veterans, the snowmaking team has over 125 years of experience (though to be fair, Robin Smith has 57 of them by himself). The team is united by a passion for skiing and riding, Vail Mountain, and a dedication to the hard and satisfying work of making it snow.
