A Big Thank You From Monica



Last month one of our customers, Monica, was looking around for a unique Christmas gift for her father. She stumbled upon our website and knew right away that a snowmaking kit would put a big smile on her father's face come Christmas morning. Except she found us on the last shipping day where we could Overnight packages for delivery by Christmas. Thinking fast she decided to order our Snowmaking Guide so that her father could assemble his own snowmaker. She was thrilled when we told her we could email her the guide right away to give to her father. Then about a month passed by and we received one of the sweetest (literally) thank yous we've ever gotten here at SnowStorm Snowmaking.

The other day we received a package from Monica that contained a thank you note and also a batch of fresh homemade cookies from Monica, thanking us for sending the guide just in time for Christmas. Then just today we received yet another email from Monica. Both messages from Monica are below:

From the letter in the picture above (excerpt, first paragraph removed):

Hi Ben,

The plans went over great!! My dad LOVED finding out how to build his own snowmaker and may be contacting you with questions about what the best air compressor would be (he says he needed an excuse to get a bigger one!).

I'd also like to order the set of 3 nozzles for the pressure washer plan. Please let me know the best way to do that.

Thanks, Monica

From today's email:

I can't tell you how tickled pink my dad is about this snowmaker - he loves your site and has been like a kid in the candy store when he talks about his trips to the hardware store. He used to be a carpenter and built inventive stuff with us kids all the time, but now that we're out of the house, he doesn't have as many "fun projects," so this really was a great thing you've invented.

Thanks!
Monica

Well there you have it, no matter how old you are, making snow at home will make you feel like a little kid again!

New Pressure Washer



We have added an additional pressure washer to our pumps page of the website. The pressure washer features a 1600PSI, 1.6GPM AR Triplex pump and is perfect for the Vector Snowmaker and our newest snowmaker, the Avalanche Snowmaker.

The pressure washer is only $439.99 with $90 shipping within the USA. You will not be disappointed with this pump. It will outlast ANYTHING you can find at the home improvement store. In fact we have tested this by running it for 120 hours so far and still haven't found a single bug with it. That's just how flawless this machine is!

New option for snowmaking kits


Last season SnowStorm Snowmaking introduced home snowmaking kits for the first time. These kits contained all the plumbing fittings, special adapters, snowmaking nozzles, and everything else needed to assemble a homemade snowmaker. The purpose of the kits was to offer an alternative to customers who wanted to make snow at home, but couldn't afford to invest in a professionally built, assembled home snowmaker. They were also offered to those who wanted to learn more about snowmaking in depth by assembling their own snowmaker to see just how exactly snowmaking works.

Along with all our products, the kits have proven to be very successful to us. We have often received emails from customers and prospective customers regarding having the snowmaker assembled by us and then shipping it to them. Mainly because they were unsure if they would assemble it correctly or just didn't have the time to assemble the snowmaker.

For awhile we held off on the idea as we wanted to keep the prices low on the kits, as that was the main purpose of them. As time went on the requests kept coming to us so now we have made it an option. For an additional fee, we can now assemble your homemade snowmaker from your kit for you. The option is still there to purchase just the kit unassembled at the original price. Assembly rates vary on which kit you choose, so please consult the kits page of our website for the assembly fees.

As always we highly encourage you to assemble your own snowmaker in order to save money. It's fast and simple. If you can look at a picture and thread pieces together, then you can assemble our kits without any problems! But if you still want us to assemble the snowmaker for you, the option is now there.

This is the perfect example of how our customers continue to help us grow and bring better and more exciting things into the home snowmaking scene. If you ever have any suggestions for any of products, or a new product idea, please don't hesitate to contact us with your suggestion!

Avalanche Snowmaker on backorder


As we anticipated, our newest snowmaker is currently on backorder. We had such a demand for the new Avalanche Snowmaker that we sold out before they were made available on our site. Not to worry though, we should have the new snowmaker listed on our site by tomorrow and you can starting ordering the Avalanche Snowmaker directly from our site. We should have all the backorders filled by the end of the weekend and begin shipping the Avalanche Snowmaker starting Monday for any new orders.

Keep checking our website and blog for information on the Avalanche Snowmaker! Thanks to all of you that pre ordered the Avalanche Snowmaker. We must say the pre orders alone overwhelmed us!

Todd in Smyrna, DE


Here is an email we received from Todd in Smyrna, Delaware.

Thank you guys for all of your help. I ordered kit number 4 to make snow for my kids to go sledding on. The service and help I received from your company was fantastic. I had a TON of questions before ordering and each time I called or emailed you guys, I had a thorough answer right away. I'm already preparing for next year and hope to come back to SnowStorm Snowmaking to buy another kit or maybe even a fully assembled snow maker! Thankfully winter isn't over yet and I may have a chance to make even more snow! My wife thinks I'm crazy, but there is nothing like having the only yard for miles with snow in it!

Thanks so much for all your help,

Todd W.

New Snowmaker


As we mentioned last week here on our blog, we have been working on something for those of you who just can't make enough snow. Although we are putting the finishing touches on it right now, we wanted to let everyone know that we have designed another snowmaker.

The snowmaker will look identical to all the others that we sell (same stand design) but will have a different nozzle configuration. The snowmaker will be comprised of 4 nozzles making it perfect for pressure washers/pumps that flow up to 3GPM of water. The snowmaker will work with any pressure washer or pump that will flow between 1.3GPM and 3GPM of water, making the home snowmaker extremely versatile. This is the perfect snowmaker to buy if you want to start with a small electric pressure washer and graduate into a larger pressure washer later. There is no need to get another snowmaker! The snowmaker will be painted in a darker shade of blue.

The snowmaker will sell for $474.99 + $35 shipping within the USA (as always, international shipping is offered, just contact us for a quote). We are currently accepting pre orders from customers wishing to order the new snowmaker now. Delivery is scheduled for the end of this week, but customers on the pre order list will not have to wait for their snowmaker should a backorder occur (we anticipate one, as we've have a lot of interest for this snowmaker).

Email us at contact@snowstormsnowmaking.com if you have any questions on the new snowmaker, or would like to place a pre order.

Shipping Reminder


All orders placed after 3PM Friday and over the weekend may incur a slight delivery delay. This is because of the Martin Luther King Holiday. USPS doesn't pick up or deliver packages on the Martin Luther King Holiday.

DHL, Fedex, and UPS still pick up and deliver today so if your order is being shipped through one of these carriers your order will be shipped out today. Only large items such as snowmakers, compressors, and pumps ship with these carriers. Kits and parts/accessories typically ship via USPS.
