Order Snowmaking Pumps and Packages Early

Although it may not yet be cold enough to make snow in your area, we highly recommend that you start purchasing any snowmaking equipment you plan to buy early. This is especially true if you are planning on buying a snowmaking pump or complete snowmaker package. Once the cold weather arrives for the first time in most areas, we get busy and often run into backorders on popular items. Our advice is that if you have been thinking about buying any of our products, that you do so before the cold weather arrives to most areas to avoid running into backorders on popular items.

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.
