SNOW CREEK SNOWMAKING
Snow Creek has over 60 snowmaking machines with the capacity to pump 3,000 gallons of water per minute, covering 100% of our terrain in as little as 72 hours. As long as temps stay below freezing we can make our own snow, which means we have snow even when you don't.
SNOWMAKING 101
Snowmaking is the production of snow by forcing water and pressurized air through a "snow gun" or "snow cannon", on ski slopes. It is made by relatively large permanent machinery at many ski resorts. The product may be called artificial snow or man-made snow. A snow cannon works by nebulizing water and allowing it to freeze into snow. The device is often used by ski hills and ski resorts to supplement naturally occurring snow and extend the skiing season.
Want to know more about how it all works? Check out this Information Packet. It helps explain snow, the snowmaking process, and what it takes for us to make snow.
