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.

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.

Snowmaking Temperatures Have Arrived!


With ski resorts in Colorado finally making snow, snowmaking temperatures have finally arrived. We have been receiving calls and emails from people in the high elevations of California and Colorado who are looking to buy a snowmaker or make snow for the first time this season. With October halfway gone, it won't be much longer until the temperatures drop across much of the country so more of us can start making snow.

Let's all hope for another great snowmaking season this year!

What's New for the 2010/2011 Home Snowmaking Season


In case you did not notice, we launched our new website for the 2010/2011 Home Snowmaking Season the other day. You will notice a few changes to some of our products along with some new products.

Here is what is new for the 2010/2011 season:


Snowmaking Pumps-
We spent two years developing our snowmaking pumps. Our snowmaking pumps are available with either a 3gpm or 5gpm flow rate. All of our electric snowmaking pumps run on 115 volts so no special outlets are required! Best of all we can ship our snowmaking pumps via FEDEX Ground so shipping to a residence is not a problem!

The snowmaking pumps can double as a pressure washer for cleaning around the house when you are not making snow. A high pressure hose, cleaning lance, and pressure washer nozzles are included for no additional charge. The snowmaking pumps operate at a lower pressure than pressure washers, but still have more than enough pressure for cleaning. The lower operating pressure allows you to clean vehicles and other delicate surfaces without having to worry about damage from high pressure water.


Snowmaker Stands-
We've had many different stands over the years for our snowmakers. Everyone seemed to like our metal tripod stands the best for their durability and ease of use on steep slopes. Our new tripods have angled legs that allow you securely position the tripod on a slope and to change the angle of the snowmaker based on wind conditions. The tripod legs quickly remove for storage.

When there is little to no wind, you can angle the snowmaker upwards for increased hangtime. This will allow you to make superior quality snow since the snow will have more time to cure as it falls to the ground. In windy conditions you can position the snowmaker to a more level position to pinpoint where exactly the snow will accumulate. The tripod stand is universal with all of our snowmakers. This means if you buy another snowmaker from us later on, you can buy just the snowmaker from us and mount it to your tripod to save some money.


Complete Packages-
For your convenience we now offer complete snowmaking system packages. Our snowmaking system packages include a snowmaker, air compressor, and snowmaking pump/pressure washer. We have a few different packages available so we recommend you check out our website for more information.

We're Gearing Up For the 2010/2011 Home Snowmaking Season


It is hard to believe that the 2010/2011 Home Snowmaking Season is just around the corner. In just a few short weeks, some of you will be able to start making snow. After a brutally hot summer, we cannot wait to make snow this winter. Let's all hope Mother Nature gives us plenty of cold temps again this winter. Last season was a fantastic season for everyone, including for those of you in the deep south.

To say the least it has been a VERY busy summer here at SnowStorm Snowmaking. Hence why we did not post on our blog since the end of last season. We are pleased to announce we have a few new products for this upcoming season including 3gpm and 5gpm home snowmaking pumps that run on 115 volts and ship via UPS/FEDEX Ground! We spent two seasons perfecting these snowmaking pumps and are sure you will be amazed at how much snow they can crank out when the temps get cold enough! We also have some changes coming to our snowmaker line along with complete snowmaking system packages that include everything you need to make snow in your yard!

Our new website for the 2010/2011 Home Snowmaking Season should be online within the next two weeks. Normally we try to have it ready to go by the end of August, but due to some last minute changes to our snowmakers, we had to push it back into September. All of our new products listed above will be on the new website.

Let's all hope for another great home snowmaking season! Think Cold and Think Snow!

Thanks for a Wonderful Season!


On behalf of everyone here at SnowStorm Snowmaking we would just like to thank everyone who helped make this season our best one yet. The 2009/2010 winter season proved to be a great one for snowmaking. Even those in the deep south had temps into the teens and low 20's back in January for an extended period of time.

Although the season has just ended, we are already getting ready for the 2010-2011 winter season. Keep checking back in here on the blog throughout the next few months for updates on what we are working on for next season.

As our winter season ends, it is just beginning for those in the southern hemisphere. Keep in mind that we operate year round and will ship any of our products worldwide all year long.

If you are looking to beat the heat this summer while you wait for winter to return, check out our Aqua Misters website to view all of our water misters and misting systems.

Thanks again to everyone who helped make this season a great one!
