BATH COUNTY, Va. – Santa’s workshop isn’t the only place racing against the clock to make winter magic happen. The Omni Homestead Resort is preparing to open for the snow sports season Saturday, Dec. 26. The Bath County resort has 26 snow guns, six of them are mobile, but it takes more than just fancy equipment to create its winter wonderland. “We are a little bit ahead of last year as for good snow-making weather goes and the progress we’ve made,” said DeBoe.
