Thanks for a Great 2008/2009 Winter Season!

Looking back at some of the photos we received this winter from our customers reminds us of just how great the 2008/2009 home snowmaking season was!

We just want to thank EVERYONE for making this season by far our best ever and we couldn't have done it without you! This winter we had below normal temps for most areas of the United States making for some excellent snowmaking conditions. A prolonged January cold spell in the southeast brought records lows that are rarely seen. Some places such as Alabama had temps as low as the upper teens!

As this season draws to a close we are busy getting things ready for next season. We have some exciting things in store for next season so be sure to keep checking back in here on the blog and our website for more information.

As the season draws to a close for the northern hemisphere, it's just getting ready to begin for the southern hemisphere. As a reminder we remain open year round and will ship any of our products worldwide even if it's the middle of summer for us.

Speaking of summer, don't forget to check out our water misters from our parent company, Aqua Misters. Our water misters will keep you cool as you sit outdoors this summer. We have added some new products for this year so be sure to check out the newly updated Aqua Misters website at www.aquamisters.com

Thanks again for making this season our best one yet! We hope to hear from you again over the summer and next season. Don't forget, summer is the perfect time to start working on your home snowmaking system for the upcoming winter. This way you have it all ready to go once the cold temps arrive.

From all of us here at SnowStorm Snowmaking, have a fun filled and safe summer!

Used Rental Snowmaker Sale

As the 2008/2009 winter snowmaking season comes to a close, we are getting ready to sell off the snowmakers that we used as rentals this past season. These snowmakers should be available for sale by mid March.

All of the snowmakers we will be selling were manufactured for the 2008/2009 season. Each year we sell off our rental snowmakers at the end of the season at discounted prices since we put new snowmakers into our rental program each year.

All snowmakers will be checked and serviced before they are sold. We bring all snowmakers to meet refurbished specifications. All towers and stands are freshly painted and we install new snowmaking nozzles on the snowmaker. All snowmakers will still come with a warranty just as if they were purchased brand new. Although the snowmakers were used, they are shipped looking like brand new.

These snowmakers are available in limited quantity, so if you are interested please contact us right away to reserve a unit for yourself. These units will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.

Maverick Snowmaker: $139.99 + $40 shipping

Vector Snowmaker: $279.99 + $40 shipping

Avalanche Snowmaker: $304.99 + $40 shipping

We also have some Excel Series Snowmakers available that were used as demos this past winter. These too will be brought to refurbished standards and come with a full warranty as if purchased brand new. Please note that these snowmakers may not all have the zinc fittings below the nucleation valve or at the top water connection. Instead they may have high pressure steel or brass fittings. The rest of the snowmaker is made from high pressure aluminum, stainless steel, and carbon steel.

Excel Series Snowmakers have a maximum of two hours use on them.

Some photos from DJ in CT

Note: Click on a photo above for a larger view

Back in mid February DJ in Connecticut purchased a snowmaker from our parent company that designs and manufactures snowmakers for ski areas. The snowmaker he purchased is the big brother to our Maverick Hybrid Snowmaker. Both snowmakers make snow the same way, except the snowmaker DJ purchased is an all metal version that mounts to a tripod.

DJ ran his snowmaker off of a 185cfm tow behind compressor. He has city water with approximately 30gpm@90PSI. With his compressor he is able to flow a maximum of about 18.5gpm depending upon what the wetbulb temperature is. The above photos were taken after a single 8 hour overnight run running the snowmaker. He adds that the snowmaker was not running at full capacity until near the end the run when temperatures got cold enough to max the snowmaker out at 18.5gpm with the installed nozzle. He says the picture of the whale (pile of snow) is about 4 to 4.5 feet deep.

DJ sent us these pics back in February, except we are just getting around to uploading them now.

Earlier this month Mike from Pennsylvania sent us some pictures of the snow he made with his snowmaker. His goal was to make enough snow to create a backyard terrain park. His new pictures show us the early stages of his backyard terrain park. He says that there was some natural snow he used, but most of it came from the snowmaker.

Pics From Greg and Leia In Alabama

Click on an image above for a larger view

Greg and Leia from Alabama sent us these pictures of the snow they made at home using our Veyron Snowmaker. In the deepest spots the snow was 1.5 feet to 2 feet deep! The cold spell across the entire eastern half of the United States is allowing people down in the southeast a rare opportunity to make snow for a long period of time. The results speak for themselves with the pictures we have been receiving.

Judging by the pictures Greg and Leia sent us, not only were the kids having fun in the only snow in town, but also Greg, Leia, and even the neighbor's dog! Our snowmakers are known to promote family togetherness.

Keep sending us your snowmaking pics and we will post them here and on our website. Let's hope the cold weather stays!

Pam in Louisiana sent us these pictures of the snow she made with the snowmaker she assembled from kit 2. Pam mounted her snowmaker to the side of a modified sprinkler tripod to get great coverage. In the deepest spot Pam made 16" of snow!

Pam also sent us a video of the snowmaker running and to show how much snow she actually made from the below normal temps in Louisiana. You can watch the video by going to our videos page on our webiste or by following this link to YouTube:
