Are they actually worth the money to get on ebay for 60$? i live in Ontario and it doesnt rlly matter how many days i can make snow it just matters what snowmakers are legit and how much snow do they make and how much does it cost to run them

well your gonna need a air compressor, which will cost a pretty penny if you don't have one.

I wouldnt be too worried about the cost of the unit itself, but more about running it, air compressors arenet cheap to buy or to run for a long time. I'm sure you can afford the 60 up frond which would be worth it if you could handle the price of running it a lot.

^word. and homemade snowmakers can be a pain in the ass sometimes cus you need a place to thaw out the hose for when your not running it or be able to empty it very quickly so it doesn't freeze solid when your finished blowing.

It can be fun to make your own snow but not really worth the effort especially if you intend to jib afterwards. You will be beat.

Its deffintly worth it to make snow, in 3 hours you can have a jib set up. Make a combogun with a aircompresser and a powerwasher. Go to www.snowguns.com to see pics and learn how to build it.
