How long have they been making snow there.  I haven't been there in almost 20 years but it was all natural back then.

~10 years. In 2008ish, it was bought out by the family which owns Concept2 (and also has several Olympians, both rowing and skiing). They run it as a nonprofit and just heap money into the operation. Beautiful new buildings, low rates ($10 for a trail pass, not enforced), amazing food and ski operations. They have snowmaking operation and a snow storage operation (they try to store enough over the summer to spread out in fall if needed) and the trails, some of which are paved for rollerskiing, are kept in top shape (drainage, mowing). They also have comms conduit on their race courses for top-level racing and timing. It's quite the operation. Concept2 has more money than they know what to do with (Crossfit apparently has been a boon for them, they made crossfit-specific ergs, charged more for them, and it was pure profit) so they just throw it at Craftsbury.

Now if they only paved the access road; it can get pretty rough getting in and out in winter!
