Cross Country Snowmaking

Past seasons have seen little snow at low elevations, which affects TDXC and those who want to utilize this amenity.
This investment also protects key association revenue, which can stabilize overall dues and costs. After completion, conservative estimates of $200,000+ ROI per low-snow season translate to less than five low-snow years to recoup the investment.
Days of operation at TDXC (Average season length = 136 days)
- 2017-18 (low-snow year): Open 65 days
- 2014-15 (drought year): Open 31 days
- 2013-14 (drought year): Open 80 days

The acquisition of snowmaking capabilities will create more member enjoyment out of cross country winter trails all season long.
All earthwork trenching for required infrastructure is complete. The pumphouse building is still under construction, and the area surrounding it is closed off.

All snowmaking infrastructure is complete. Contractors are working on completing the pumphouse through spring 2023.
