They need them. I'm not on facebook, but copied the link...

Nice upgrade/addition. Would be nice to see some upgrades to the weathered lodge already. I'd argue that Seven Springs needs to step up its snowmaking automation game already. Wondering what if any upgrades are happening there this offseason. Tahoe lodge is ready to fall over.
Interestingly, the TR8 is not shown on the Techno Alpin website. Are these refurbished? They look new so perhaps they still had the old TR8 in their inventory? Actually, their website shows these as "success" models. How about taking some of the older fan guns, gussieing them up a little and sending them to Laurel Mountain?
I agree with you. Could be sold through a reseller? Refurbished? They do look new. Even being primarily an HV skier, I'd rather see a little bit more coverage over at LM.

Found some "like new" TR8s on the Techno Alpin website just now. Made in 2019. A dozen still available and currently in Denver.

Truck makes a left into HV in the video. Suggests they came from Trent Rd from 7S. Or coulda come from somerset. Maybe 7S had extras, or the shipment arrived there first. All speculation!
7S will have to do something to automate at some point. Most of the snowmaking knowledge they have was tied up in that one guy Kirk, I believe. If something were to happen to him and he hadn't been able to pass on his knowledge - or documented it very well - they could be in a world of hurt.
