very briefly..... take an air compressor (at least 4cfm@90psi) and a hose or pressure washer. form a T out of pipes. put the hose in one end, air compressor in the other, and put a cap with a hole drilled into it on the final end. turn 'er on and it should work nice like

I wouldn't make it a T. A Y would be a lot better, becuase the air and water can get out easier.

run a hose from inside the house.

be sure to drain the tanks after your done using the compressor becasue there will be a lot of water in the tanks and will eventually rust them out and fuck up your compressor

Yea i wanted to make one forever but my attempts failed after i got in the snow making cult now i have 2!!




Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. She hates guys, Pete lamented, so it’s not going good. Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.

-20 C ain't that chilly, we had some -40 C weather this winter here. If the water is constantly moving in the hose it won't freeze.

There are alot of sites out there that have more info.
Here are a few:
http://winter.6.forumer.com/
http://snowguns.com

Both of those are forums. The first one is a forum thats got skiing,riding,snowmaking,biking and other stuff.

The second one is mostly snowmaking only.

Both are really cool.

I have been making snow for two years and have never used enzymes. They might help but I have never personally used them. Anyway, message *cowboy*. The NS snowmaking cult is an amazing cult. SO much info on snowmaking. Weve gotten so many NS members hooked up with their own snowmakers. Def check it out.

hahaha -20 C isnt that cold. until -40, F is colder. at -40 the temperatures are the same. -20F is 20 degress below 0. -20 C is the same as 20C below 32F................................ I wanna try to make one these, I wonder if the air compressor is too powerful then it may not work.... cause the resistance coming from the little hole in the metal could be more then the resistance of the garden hose......... hmmmmmmm

well just saying from expierience that i made one for a project and we may of had a air compressor that was a little too powerful, but making a T in the pipes made the water go back down the hose, not sure if this would happen on a regular air compressor but i think we used an industrial size air compressor for a nail gun ect. but use what works for you not sre what will happen
