As the weather warms and the sun angle rises to assist in the snow melt, we cast remaining snow into previously melted areas. To accelerate the melting process in shaded areas, the blowing of snow into warmer locations enhances the melting and subsequent drying. This photo shows #14 fairway, the left side being the southern shaded section and the right side being the northern warm section. The northern section faces south towards the sun angle which attracts heat and melts at a much more rapid pace than the opposite side. If we were not to manually manipulate the snow in many spots of the course, the natural melt would be greatly extended.
