New snowmaker to be released



SnowStorm Snowmaking has been working on several projects over the summer months including new snowmaker designs. We anticipate on releasing one of our newest snowmakers sometime this week or early next week.

The new snowmaker that will be released will function using a garden hose and small air compressor. THERE IS NO NEED FOR A PRESSURE WASHER WITH THIS DESIGN! The snowmaker will be excellent for someone just getting into snowmaking as it teaches the fundamentals of making snow in the simplest way possible. The snowmaker will also come installed with our special snowmaking nozzle. This nozzle spreads the snow over a wider area and also eliminates sputtering common in other nozzles.

Here are some specs of the new snowmaker:

Requirements:

Garden Hose: Garden hose with running water (frost free spigot recommended)
Air Compressor: Minimum of 4CFM@90PSI or more
Temperature: 30ºF or less (Design will make snow up to 39ºF if humidity is low)

Benefits and Features:

Snowmaker mounted inside tower to protect snowmaker from elements

Same stand design as our Vector and Veyron Snowmakers (we have never had one complaint about our stands!)

Internal mix design allows you to make snow up to 39ºF if low humidity is present

Produces 1"-2" of snow per hour over a 25'x25' area depending on your water pressure

Anticipated price: $199.99 + $25 shipping (subject to change)

We have several projects still underway and hope to have more items available to you soon. Keep it right here on our blog or check our site for more info on our newest gun.

New Website



We have finally launched the new website. The videos will be added in a few months when the weather gets cold enough to show our snowmakers in action.

We still need pictures from you! We know you must have pictures laying around somewhere because we've recieved emails from people that have made their local news and appeared in their local newspapers. If you have pics, please send them to us!

Product Overview:Snowmaking Kits



Our snowmaking kits were introduced earlier this year and have proved to be very popular. Their reasonable price makes getting into snowmaking at home very affordable and easy to do. Although there is some assembly required to construct the snowmaker, it typically doesn't take any longer than 15-20 minutes to put an entire snowmaker together. All of the kits come shipped complete with instructions for both the assembly and operation of the snowmaker. Although no tools are required to assemble the snowmaker in the kit, a wrench or vice grips can be helpful and help eliminate your snowmaker from leaking once in operation.

The kits come shipped with everything you need to assemble a homemade snowmaker. This allows you to save time by not having to run around looking for parts if you purchased plans. The kits are perfect if you are not familiar with the types of parts and fittings needed to assemble the snowgun. The kits also come shipped with the special nozzles that cannot be found in stores. If you purchase kit number 2, the special connector for electrical pressure washers is included (22mm fitting). This fitting is difficult to find in stores (if at any) and also insures that you have safely and properly hooked up the pressure washer to the snowmaker.

Where is the cold weather?



Although our last blog post was about customers' making snow, the cold weather seems to have gone away. Most of the United States has been experiencing above normal temperatures for the last few weeks. Luckily it has started to snow in the mountains out west and hopefully some of that cold air will spread across the country later this coming week.

Until then, think cold and think snow. Remember if you live in an area where there is a drought watch, warning, or emergency, we ask that you either limit your snowmaking activity or make no snow at all until the drought has been lifted. We appreciate your cooperation in conserving water if you live in a drought affected area.

THE '07-'08 SNOWMAKING SEASON HAS OFFICALLY BEGUN!



That's right! We've received emails from various customers’ telling us about their first opportunity to make snow in their backyard this year. The majority of emails came from the higher elevations of Colorado as well as parts of northern Minnesota. Although the snowmaking runs were short, that didn't stop people from getting up early (or in some cases not going to bed at all) to make snow in their yards!

We've received a lot of messages from people making snow for the first time and are glad to have been able to help out. As always if you’re making snow for the first time and ever have a question about anything, please feel free to contact us via email and we would be glad to help you. Remember, our main email address is checked EVERYDAY even AFTER HOURS to answer any questions or help with any problems you might be having.

Several ski resorts in Colorado have also begun to make snow for the season so keep an eye for opening dates in the near future.

From all of us here at SnowStorm Snowmaking,

Best of luck to you on your snowmaking ventures this season.
