skifreak Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 Thats right, Snow Valley in California started making snow today. They were the first ones in the country to begin snowmaking this season. For pics and info Click Here Bring on the snow Quote
romemadman Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 how did you find that out Quote
skifreak Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Posted September 20, 2005 I saw it on snowguns.com Quote
skimom Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 Awesome, 'freak. That link desreves a 5-star ***** award. Quote
Papasteeze Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 nice.. I didn't see at what temperature they turned the guns on at. Quote
skifreak Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Posted September 20, 2005 I don't know that either. But I'm sure it has the temps on the link they provide for the weather. Quote
Schif Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 Thats awesome, just one step closer to snow in the east. Quote
Papasteeze Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 http://www.snowathome.com/sg5_page.htm Does anyone - has anyone heard of this particular machine? This looks more managable and sensible to start out with than others that I have been looking at. Quote
VTmark Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 from what i hear on a little bit of surfing i do over at snowguns.com i've herd their really not that good. you might as well just build your own sm4 gun get teh same results for a lot lesss money. Quote
skifreak Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Posted September 21, 2005 Papa, What they are asking for, is just wrong. No friggin way that thing is worth over $700. First of all it only makes more snow because you need a bigger gpm pressure washer or pump. It is the same design as their original one however it has another bulk water nozzle to accomadate the larger flow capacity. Its still cheaper to build your own. Its just a combo gun with another bulk water nozzle. Quote

I have a 3.5 gallon pressure washer at 2800 psi - tell me what compressor to get and sell me the gun and it sounds liek I will be making snow. Other wise I am looking to buy the ready made gun. Quote
skifreak Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Posted September 22, 2005 Fine I'll build it for you and ship it. And I promise I won't rip you off. I will shoot you a pm either today or tomorrow. Quote
skidude Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Wouldn't it be easy just to have rob pick it up from you in his hummer assuming he was going up to CB sometime.... Quote
skifreak Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Posted September 22, 2005 Well, we will figure that out. If he wants to do that I guess he can do that also. BTW I won't make you a fancy stand. The PVC tends to crack and it will keep the price down. Quote
