Heat Reclamation Project - Bladder installation

As we've mentioned previously, we're working on a project to reclaim some of the lost heat and energy involved in the snowmaking. Last week, we were able to take another step on that path, installing the waterproof bladder in the bunker on the back of Cedar. This 20,000 gallon reservoir will house several heat exchangers that will draw energy from the mass of water and put it to use heating hot water as well as heating rooms themselves around the Center. We're still a ways away from completing the project, but we checked in on the progress. Watch the video for the scoop.
