| The electric power needed
for the air compressors, water pumps, and mountain lights
at Pats Peak is enormous, requiring approximately 4 megawatts
under peak load.
Back in the old days Pats Peak had to call
up the local power company when were getting ready to make
snow, thankfully, because of infrastructure upgrades we do
not need to do that anymore.
The beauty of this is we work very aggressively
with power company to use this energy when the rest of the
state is fast asleep.
