Services & Products We Offer:

• Portable, Front Yard $nowmaking Guns & Services.  NOTE:  At the present time, we need temps of 27 degrees in order to conduct $nowmaking with our basic  equipment.  We will blow $now at YOUR House, Event or Business, starting at $1,000 per day. 

• Or......if you don't have cold temperatures, we work with subcontractors to deliver finely-crushed ice/snow to your home or business in So. Calif.  We need to know exactly what date and address, as we are heavily booked for weekends during the winter season.  As a sample quote, we have a 10 ton minimum for this service- which covers an area 25 X 50 feet with 4 to 6 inches of snow.  Our price for that service would be about $2,100 total, depending on your address; more snow, more area, or longer traveling distances outside of the L.A. basin= more $ added to this quote.

$now Guns & Packages:

$nowcal™ - $nowmasterI™ Basic Gun - We manufacture this basic gun, which is an excellent small, economy-priced unit for home snowmaking or small commercial operations.  Hooks up to your outside faucet and a small, basic compressor.   We suggest temperatures of about 25 degrees for this gun; a little higher for low humidity days and higher air and water pressures.   For best results, your compressor should put out at least 110 psi in air pressure, and about 60 psi should be available from your water system.

This gun can be mounted with hose clamps to a tripod or any upward-angulation, secure mounting device.  Mount at least 4 feet off the ground at a 30 to 45 degree angle.  When ordering, please tell us what size hoses you will be using.  Includes 3 different sizes of Nozzle Caps for different temp, water/air pressure uses and experimentation.  A surprisingly productive small gun.  Only $169.99 Plus Shipping!

We designed, engineered and now manufacture this brand new gun.  It was tested and readied for production in October, 2006.  We have incorporated our Patented technology that allows snowmaking at much higher volumes than most guns on the market.  It's a larger gun, and was specifically designed to produce a large amount of snow - approximately twice that of similar guns.  With appropriate air and water pressure, this gun will blow snow right off your water faucet.   A CD video of this gun in operation, or on-site demonstrations, are available on request.  We can also email you the video.  Click the link above to see more photos of it in operation.

This gun works best in lower humidities of 50% or less, or at higher humidities with wet bulbs of 22 or less.  During testing on 11/29/06, at 23 degrees and 40% humidity, we covered an area about 100 by 200 feet with 2 inches of snow from one position in a little over an hour.  In addition, the quality of snow produced by this gun is much drier and lighter than other guns.  Coverage lengths of up to 200 feet occurred; with up-canyon light winds, we were getting aerial snow float of up to 300 feet on the run shown in the photos, with float heights of up to 40 feet!  With a larger compressor, we have good reason to believe that this gun will blow at around 40 degrees in low-humidity conditions.  At the end of the noted test session, we were blowing snow at around 34 degrees.  On 12/3/06, we blew snow at 35 degrees with 15% humidity.  Water during this tests was supplied from an adjacent standard water faucet, via garden hose into 1 inch snowmaking hose!  Air was also supplied via 1" snowmaking hose during our tests.  With larger compressors, water pumps and hoses, we believe the performance of this gun will be exceptional.

Plan on using a 185 CFM compressor or larger for this snowgun, more if you are running several guns or for higher humidities.  Water pressures that we have tested this new gun with have been from 85 to 110 PSI.  Optional, Fully-Adjustable Ball Valves allow you to increase or decrease both air and water flows until it starts making snow.  Other options available for it include an external-injection nozzle for additional cooling, pre-cooling extension pipes, 1 inch or 1 1/2 inch Kamlok hookups, anti-reversion valves, fittings, tripods and adapters and a Heat Exchanger.  The basic gun, threaded and set up for using Kamloks, fittings and a tripod runs $1299.95.   We can quote the fittings, tripods, hose adapters, towers and other parts for you, depending on your individual needs.  Our simple, expandable basic tower can reach from 5 to 10 feet in height, with one foot adjustment increments, to give you extra spray length, lighter snow and that extra advantage in marginal conditions.        

If you are in California or the southwest U.S., contact us for a demo. 

New Turbo Fan Gun
   

With it's wide range of water pressure (150 to 900psi) and a staggering water flow of 15 gpm to 250 gpm with a starting wet bulb temperature of 30º this is the ultimate snowmaking machine.  The biggest benefit to this machine is the fact it doesn't have or need a water filter for the central nozzle, the only fan gun on the market without a filter.  Clogged filters decrease snowmaking production and create many more hours of maintenance.  Available with different levels of automation, it will allow you to make a perfect resurfacing snow to lay down a firm base snow.  Up to 250 ft. basic coverage projection.  Call or email us for quotes on this high performance, high-volume system.

Insta-Snow™

We can also sell you.......Insta-Snow™ ....... an amazing super-absorbent polymer that turns ordinary water into a fluffy substance that looks like real snow.  In fact, this faux snow is so realistic that it is now being used in indoor snowboarding parks. Unlike traditional artificial snow, Insta-Snow™ will not melt or ice up. It also costs half as much to maintain, feels surprisingly realistic, and keeps skiers, sledders or snowboarders dry when they fall.

Insta-Snow™ expands to 100 times it's dry size.  A 100 gram jar will make about 2 gallons of snow and the 1 pound bag makes about 8 gallons of snow.  We also have 33 pound bags of Insta-Snow™ that can make about 264 gallons of snow or enough to cover a 75 square feet of area with 6" of snow.
NOTE:  RECOMMENDED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.
