Refined to perfection over the last 20 years, our Pro Series home snowmakers have proven time and again that they are superior and extremely reliable in even the most demanding backyard snowmaking applications. From backyard sledding runs and terrain parks to guaranteeing a White Christmas, our snowmakers have done it all for our customers around the world. Many of our first snowmakers are still in operation to this day, attesting to their durability and reliability.
Ease of operation has always been a priority of SnowStorm Snowmaking. Thanks to our Automatic Nucleation Valve inside each snowmaker, there are NO ADJUSTMENTS that must be made by the operator on the snowmaker. Simply attach your pressure washer and air compressor to the snowmaker and watch it snow. The plug and play setup makes it easy for anyone to make real snow in their backyard.
The simple yet effective design of our snowmakers has no moving components, making them virtually maintenance free with little to fail. Snowmaking equipment is designed to perform in extreme weather conditions and not be a fashion statement. Fancy looking equipment from the competition may look nice but often times does not perform and has more to fail requiring unnecessary maintenance, downtime, and cost.
All our snowmakers utilize internal nucleation to give you the edge in marginal and windy snowmaking conditions. Internal nucleation is less susceptible to freeze ups when compared to external mix designs. Remember, if the nucleation nozzle freezes, you won’t make snow!
Each snowmaker body is precision machined to our exact specifications and the remaining components are installed by hand to ensure you receive the highest quality home snowmaker. Each individual snowgun is tested to our strict quality control standards prior to shipping to ensure your snowgun will provide you with seasons of trouble-free performance.
Features & Benefits of Our High Pressure Snowmakers:
Automatic Nucleation Valve (no adjustments required)
Unlike other home snowguns, our high pressure snowmakers require NO ADJUSTMENTS. Simply hook up your air compressor and pressure washer and let our automatic nucleation valve handle all the adjustments for you. It is a simple plug and play setup. The automatic nucleation valve eliminates operator error and ensures your snowmaker always makes snow and the highest quality snow possible.
Interchangeable Nozzles
Our snowmakers are fully adjustable to a work with a wide range of pressure washer sizes. Simply order your snowmaker with the flow rate of your pressure washer. If you get a different size pressure washer later all you need to buy is a new set of top nozzles (Bulk Water Nozzle set). Other manufacturers require you to buy a completely new snowmaker which is costly and unnecessary.
Precision Machined Snowmaker Body (1 piece construction)
The snowmaker body is manufactured out of high quality aluminum. The one piece aluminum construction prevents freeze-ups from occurring which is typical on other snowmaker bodies that are made up of several pieces. Each snowmaker body is precision machined and is tested according to our strict quality control standards. The rest of the snowmaker components are then installed by hand.
Internal Nucleation
There is a good reason most of the snowguns you see at ski resorts are internal mix, they are very efficient and have less issues compared to external mix designs. The robust internal nucleation system on our high pressure snowmakers excels in marginal snowmaking conditions, prevents nucleation nozzle freeze-ups, and is less susceptible to issues in windy conditions.
Stainless Steel Snowmaking Nozzles
All of our snowmakers come standard with stainless steel nozzles. Brass nozzles found on other home snow makers will wear out since brass is a soft metal. Worn brass nozzles cause your snowmaker to produce an inconsistent snow quality and will continually require replacement.
Self Heating Design
The unique inner workings of our snowmaker body distributes the water in such a way that it prevents freeze-ups from occurring.
Angled Tripod Stand (If ordered with snowmaker)
Our tripod stand is angled to increase the hang time of the mist exiting the nozzles. The more time the mist has to freeze, the better your snow quality will be. The angled rear legs can be adjusted to accommodate different slopes and to slightly change the pitch of the snowmaker.
