Seven Springs!

For those of you interested in the history of places you visit, see http://www.westpennmiataclub.com/mmm10/docs/history7.html to discover the connection.

My own memories of Seven Springs date to the early 70’s, and they’re limited to the ski lodge and the slopes covered with snow. Later in 1995, I returned during a visit with my father, and we stopped in to see the new lodge. In between those years, the resort grew steadily and has changed hands a couple of times. But it was born out of the love of a man and a woman for the Laurel Highlands country that you’ll learn about in the link above.

Seven Springs is also known for its innovations: in the 60’s one of the owners’ sons invented and patented the Millennium Snowmaking Gun that is used throughout the world. More recently, the resort has won awards for its innovative water conservation and solar panel techniques used in its snowmaking system. You can see the details of these systems and the rest of the history of Seven Springs from where the above article leaves off at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Springs_Mountain_Resort.
