Once all the greens and surrounds have been cleared of snow we move to the tees then to the fairways to accelerate the snow melt and ground warming. Here we are blowing #7 tee deck clear of snow. Once we clear the decks of snow, we clear the tee surrounds and then move to the fairways and cast snow into melted locations or into the trees and out of play areas. This spring we will manually move snow on approximately 50% of the golf course. This is necessary due to our location on a north facing slope of a mountain. If we were to allow the snow to melt on it's own the golf course opening date would always be delayed.
