> Maybe importing some snow machines from Tahoe? :-)

That's not even funny:

1: Snowmaking equipment doesn't involve any chillers, they work by spraying a fine mist when the temperature is below freezing.

2: (Unless something changed in the last decade), the vast majority of snow in Tahoe is natural, not man-made.

3: There are closer ski areas than Tahoe. Mountain High, Mammoth...

4: Even if snowmaking involved chilling, (which it doesn't), it requires a significant amount of water and pressurized air, which requires specialized equipment and access to an energy source. It's assembled in the off season. Is it even practical to assemble all that in a matter of hours? Heck, is it even practical to disassemble it at a ski area's snowmaking equipment, truck it, and then re-assemble it?

Lesson for you: Keep your assumptions in check. You keep coming up with very creative, but highly impractical, solutions.

If you're on an engineering team, bring your suggestions with a dose of humility, learn to listen, and see how more experienced people solve problems.

Furthermore, in a time-sensitive situation, constantly explaining to someone why their creative ideas are impractical takes precious time away from solving the real problem.
