Jeremy in North Carolina sent us these pictures of the snow he made in 4 hours using his Veyron Snowmaker. He says the deepest pile was 16.5" in the middle, which is really good for only 4 hours of snowmaking.

Some Crazy Weather We Have Been Having!

The cold temperatures at the end of October allowed many people to make snow for the first time this season. However the cold temperatures did not last long in many areas, including the Midwest.

Some places in the Midwest have been enjoying some unseasonably warm weather for this time of year. Many areas got into the mid 60's and some places even touched 70ºF or higher! The good news for all you snow lovers is that the National Weather Service predicts temperatures to drop sharply by this weekend for most areas in the Midwest. That means plenty of cold temperatures for snowmaking and also for some natural snow.

Winter is just around the corner and many of you should be able to make a White Thanksgiving this year. One thing is for certain though, enjoy this warm weather while it lasts, because winter will be here before you know it!

We have been getting busier as we approach the colder months. Our stock of snowmakers is starting to get low, but we have more in production that will be available soon. If your thinking about buying a snowmaker, you might want to do it now to guarantee you have it for when the cold weather arrives to you area.

Pictures from Justin in TN

Justin in Lenoir City, TN purchased a kit 4 snowmaker from us back in November. He used the snowmaker to make snow in his backyard so that he and his friends could go skiing and snowboarding. Justin says he has been able to maintain a 12" base since 12/29/09 thanks to the unseasonably cool weather in his area this winter.

Reminder about Christmas Orders

December is the busiest month for us here at SnowStorm Snowmaking. We have been extremely busy the last two weeks now that the temperatures have started to drop and that the holiday shopping season has begun. Since we have been so busy lately, we haven't been able to update our blog as often as we'd like to. We apologize about that to our loyal followers!

Our snowmakers are extremely popular for Christmas gifts and a lot of people wonder if we can guarantee delivery by Christmas. We try our very best to keep everything in stock at all times during the fall and winter season. However we get extremely busy from Black Friday until the day before Christmas Eve. No matter how hard we try, eventually an item becomes back ordered. While these back orders are usually filled within a few days, sometimes the demand for an item can place it on backorder for almost a week. If you plan on ordering any of our items for Christmas, we cannot stress enough the importance of doing it early. This way if we run into back orders, there is a good chance we can still get your order to you for Christmas.

We will ship up until the last minute for Christmas delivery. The last possible day to guarantee delivery for Christmas is December 23rd at noon. December 23rd is the last day we can ship anything to guarantee delivery by Christmas. Orders placed on December 23rd must be shipped Next Day Air in order for them to arrive on December 24th. If you must place an order on December 23rd, please contact us to verify the item you wish to purchase is in stock and to obtain a Next Day Air Shipping quote. Please note that none of the shipping companies deliver on Christmas Day so orders placed on December 24th will not arrive by Christmas.

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!

February is here

February is now upon us. We had a fantastic and busy January for sure here at SnowStorm Snowmaking. It was nice to hear back from customers who bought snowmakers from us and were able to make snow for the first time in January.

Although winter is halfway through this month, there is still time to get snowmaking gear to make snow at home this winter. We had put the Avalanche Snowmaker on our site late Monday afternoon and had to take it off our site by Tuesday morning because of the large amount of orders received from it again! We should be able to have plenty in stock for our second time around that we don't incur a backorder so quickly. The Avalanche Snowmaker is shaping up to be our best selling snowmaker this year (or all time for that matter)!

Keep checking us out here and on the website for information when the Avalanche Snowmaker is back in stock. If you see it back online and want it, order it soon in case there is another backorder!

Keep thinking cold and keep thinking snow!
