New Lower Prices on Select Fully Assembled Snowmakers

We are pleased to announce that we have been able to lower the prices on several of our Fully Assembled Snowmakers. The new lower prices are due to the drop in raw material costs associated in the manufacturing of the snowmakers.

Redesigned Vector, Avalanche, and Veyron Snowmakers Receive High Praise

As the temperatures slowly start to dip below freezing more and more of our customers are getting the opportunity to make snow. For the past few years we have been working hard to make our snowmakers easier to operate, more affordable, and provide the highest quality of snow possible. After lots of extensive testing, we released our completely redesigned Vector, Avalanche, and Veyron Snowmakers. These snowmakers feature our automatic self-adjusting nucleation valve, which means you don't have to make any adjustments to the snowmaker. Just hook your pressure washer up and compressor up to the snowmaker and let the snowmaker do the rest of the work for you!

Here are just some of things our customers who already made snow told us they like about the redesigned snowmakers:

- Simple to operate, no need to make adjustments to the snowmaker

- Allows you to attach your pressure washer and compressor to the snowmaker and just walk away

- Much more sleek, compact, and lightweight design compared to past models

- The composite PVC stand and tower are maintenance free unlike metal stands

- The stand is VERY STABLE and will not tip over. One of our customers has another brand snowmaker and says the stand is very prone to tipping over when the pressure washer is turned on

- Inline filter on the pressure washer connection is a huge plus

- Price of the snowmaker was much less than comparable snowmakers that make just as much snow per hour

The feedback we have received so far on these redesigned snowmakers has been phenomenal. If you don't already have your hands on one of these new snowmakers, you will be impressed with just how easy they are to operate compared to other internal mix snowmakers. The redesigned snowmakers have been so popular that we have been having a hard time keeping them in stock. So if your thinking about buying one, we recommend doing it soon because we anticipate they will be on backorder FREQUENTLY once the temperatures get even colder in more areas.

First NATURAL Snow of the Season

This afternoon we got a nice surprise at our office: the first natural snow of the season! This is by far the EARLIEST it has ever snowed here in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

In the photo above, a Veyron Snowmaker sits outside our office in the first snow of the season. The wetbulb temperature was a little too warm for snowmaking, otherwise we would have fired it up for our earliest snowmaking run ever.

It looks and feels like winter is going to start early this year. Hopefully everyone will have a great winter this year and get plenty of chances to make snow!

Air Compressor and Pressure Washer Recommendations

For those of you who are looking for an air compressor or pressure washer for your snowmaker, we have compiled some that we recommend on the Requirements page of our website.

These compressors and pressure washers have been tried by our customers over the years and were given high praise for their reliability. If you have an air compressor or pressure washer that you have found to be reliable and it is not on our list, please let us know so that we can add it to the list.

Keep in mind that electric compressors and pressure washers are much quieter than gas driven compressors and pressure washers. This is important if you plan on making snow late at night and live close to your neighbors.

Snowmaking Season has Started

With ski areas in Colorado making snow and snowmaking temperatures starting to arrive in several areas of the country, the 2009/2010 snowmaking season is now underway! If you have been thinking of buying a snowmaker now is the perfect time to order one to ensure it arrives just in time for the cold weather.

Here in the Northeast we had a relatively cool summer and the temperatures have been starting to drop unusually early. Not to mention the leaves on the trees have turned early this year. We have a good feeling that this winter is going to be one of the best yet!

Winter 2009/2010 Is Coming!

We hope everyone has been having a great summer so far. We apologize for the long delay in updating our blog, but we have been busy getting ready for this upcoming winter season. We have put a lot of time and effort into Research and Development this year. We are sure you will be pleased with some of the changes that are coming to our line of snowmakers.

Here are just some of things you will see different this year over last year:

- AUTOMATIC NUCLEATION VALVE on all of our assembled snowmakers that run off of pressure washers. No more having to manually adjust the valve by using a 10mm nut driver. Once you hook up your pressure washer and compressor to the snowmaker, the valve will automatically adjust to flow the right amount of water to the nucleation nozzle.

Before you had to manually adjust the nucleation valve. This posed two problems. First you had to have a 10mm nut driver in order to adjust the valve (unless you had an Excel Series Snowmaker). If you didn't have one, you had to purchase one and it was often difficult to buy a single one. This forced you to buy an entire set of nut drivers which could cost as much as $50. Second, most people would over open the manual valve and flow too much water to the nucleation nozzle. This resulted in the snowmaker making ice or poor quality snow. The new automatic nucleation valve eliminates both of these problems.

Internal mix snowmakers are MUCH more efficient when compared to external mix snowmakers. However most people prefer the external mix snowmakers due to their simplicity to use. Our new automatic nucleation valve gives you the simplicity of an external mix snowgun, but with the efficiency of an internal mix snowgun. Just hook your pressure washer and compressor hoses up to our snowmakers and the automatic nucleation valve will do the rest! Our new automatic nuclation valve is a FIRST for the home snowmaking industry.

- Changes in the appearance of the Excel Series Snowmakers. A new aluminum base will replace the old style "T" fitting. The aluminum base helps to mix the air and water better and thus increase the snow quality. The Excel Series Snowmakers will also feature our new automatic nucleation valve mentioned above.

- Our existing line of snowmaker kits will have their instructions re-written to make assembling them much easier.

- A new, all metal snowmaker, that runs off a standard garden hose.

- AND MUCH MORE! Check back in with us in late August when we launch our newly updated website with all of the above changes and more!

Enjoy summer while it's here, but snowmaking weather is just around the corner!
