We already have members signing up for this trip. It will fill up fast, so don’t delay in getting your deposit in. We’re about 60% full. Our January meeting will be at the Twisted Laurel downtown Asheville on the second Tuesday, January 14. This meeting will be a fundraiser, so bring something that you want to offer that has value and can be auctioned off. Tickets, ski passes, condo stays, house stays would be some of the things we could auction off. Since there will be 100 of us going to Whitefish in Kalispell the second week in February, we’re planning a social February 20th at Cataloochee Ski Area. This means no regular ski club meeting in February. This would be a good time to do a night ski and some of us will work the crowds for memberships. Steamboat was epic this year. We had about half of the mountain open to us to ski and let go of some bad habits. Already looking forward to next year.

  • Automating a Home Snowmaking System Using an AVR Microcontroller
    AUTOMATING A HOME SNOWMAKER USING AN AVR MICROCONTROLLER by William Reid White Honors Thesis Project Appalachian State University Submitted to the Department of Physics and The Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science December, 2017 Approved by: ________________________________________________________ Tonya S. Coffey, Ph.D., Thesis Director ________________________________________________________ Witold A. Kosmala, Ph.D., Second Reader ________________________________________________________ Richard O. Gray, Ph.D., Departmental Honors Director ________________________________________________________ Jefford Vahlbusch, Ph.D., Dean, The Honors College Abstract Since its invention in the 1950s, snowmaking has been vitally important to the ski industry, lengthening season length, and bringing skiing and snowboarding to areas where it would not previously have been possible. In the past decade and a half, snowmaking system automation has become widespread due to its potential for increased efficiency and decreased costs. Snowmaking has also gained a foothold in the personal market, with small-scale systems being sold by several companies for decoration and entertainment purposes. However, no home snowmaking system on the market today includes automation, despite automation’s potential to decrease the difficulty in operating these systems by eliminating the need for the user to constantly check weather conditions and to wake up at unreasonable hours to turn the machine on. Presented is a method to automate an existing home snowmaking system using an Atmega328p microcontroller with various sensors and control devices. A full-scale test was recently performed. There were issues with the method used to control the water supply to the system, but aside from those, the system performed flawlessly. A better method is necessary to allow the system to control the water supply.
