Make Your Own Snow

Make Your Own Snow FARM HOME recreation 28-6-6 It's a lot easier to attract customers to a farm-based skiing or tubing hill if you can guarantee snow. That's where Kevin Prince comes in, inventor and manufacturer of a 22-ft. tower-type snow gun that'll make mountains of fresh snow out of ordinary pond or well water.
"All it needs is a high-pressure pump, 300 psi or better," says Prince. "Water quality doesn't matter. In fact, dirty water is best for forming ice crystals, and the colder the better."
After working with various types of snow-making equipment, Prince decided he wanted a snow gun that would be simpler to operate. Today, he makes and sells his tower guns throughout the northern U.S. and Canada.
Mounted on a skid base, the tower gun can be pulled into place with a snowmobile, ATV, or tractor.
He points out that unlike some snow guns, his tower gun can be used in environmentally sensitive areas. "Other guns need compressed air or electricity," explains Prince.
Prince's snow gun can also be used in the summer for fire fighting and as a fire suppression system for farm and home, sawmills, controlled burns, etc. He has wheeled systems and a 4-pt. lift system for airlifting.
Prince prices his snow making systems at $4,000 (Canadian).
