This thread is post and answer questions about snowguns.

I make and sell snowguns so if anyone wants to buy one let me know.
small-$30
medium-$45
large-$60
http://www.7degreeproductions.com/snowguns.htm

Yes they do make snow.
I have made snow for 3 years.
I design the guns.
It is possible to make your own gun but like I did it took me a while to actually make good snow.



Ask some more questions I'll answer them.

no actually i'm not. most people have access to some sort of compressor and people who want to use the large probably could get one

that one is a ripoff!!! my dad got one just like that for our motorhome instead of using our gas one to wash the bikes, and it was like 80 bucks.

i would totally buy one of those, if i see it in action, but idk cas i do live 10 minutes from my mountain and i will have my licence in like half a year.

Sweet... This is really tempting. I could set it up and leave it overnight when it's cold enough, then get up early and start building, hopefuly being able to ride before it melts.

I'll send you an email if I still have money after buying my skis :)

Oh sweet, I just remembered we got a pressure washer, and a neighbour up the street has a compressor :D

I'll see if I could "borrow" that comp for the winter.... :D

for the small gun all you need is a compressor for the air? and for the water can you use just a regular garden hose?
