This is the same company that created 19 million gallons of rain over Homer, AK, in just 3 hours with two drones. Now, it wants to partner with every ski resort in Utah.

If drones can help solve the water crisis in the West, I'm ALL IN. But color me skeptical... Cloud seeding has been around forever, and there's probably a reason why most resorts aren't investing heavily in it.

But I could be wrong. Curious what other people think.

Question (No Location) Looking for beginner adult ski lesson recommendations

4 Upvotes

Hello all. I will be in SLC area the first week of January and would like to learn how to ski. I am thinking of doing a 3-day group lesson. I've been doing a good amount of research but can't decide.

  • I am a 35 y/o female skiing for the first time
  • Looking for great instructors that will help me progress quickly
  • I will be staying in South Jordan with family so I'll be commuting from there daily (less than an hour drive each way would be ideal)
  • Price is not a factor

Thanks for the help!
