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!


Think cold and think snow!

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.

New Snowmaker For Large Compressors

For all of you that have high output compressors (18CFM@90PSI or more) we have a new home snowmaker for you that will allow you to make more snow. Best of all you can run it off a garden hose or a water pump with significantly less water pressure then a pressure washer.

The Maverick Hybrid Snowmaker is a cross between a home snowmaker and ski resort snowmaker. It can flow between 1GPM all the way up to 70GPM of water depending on which nozzle we install. The bigger your compressor, the more snow you can make. The snowmaker can even make snow for tubing hills, small ski trails, and even cross country ski areas. All you need is a small fire pump and tow behind compressor and you can make loads of snow. Each snowmaker is custom made to your specifications.

The Maverick Hybrid Snowmaker is similar to the regular Maverick Snowmaker. It makes snow the same way, but it has a larger nozzle to flow more water and uses larger diameter piping and internal components. The regular Maverick Snowmaker maxes out at about 1GPM of water because most home air compressors cannot nucleate large amounts of water due to the low CFM they provide.

For more information on the new Maverick Hybrid Snowmaker check out our snowmakers page. If you have any questions on our new snowmaker or would like to get started custom building yours, please contact us!
