The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

Lol.
Well at least he's truthful in the name of his website. Maybe he should add the tagline, "By Gapers for Gapers".

The whole site reads like a term paper written by an ESL student, and it's chock full of typos. I liked this line especially, " They make out a chance for night skiers who enjoy night skiing, which is another wonderful experience where people go skiing at night and at that time it is not crowded as most people prefer sleeping at that time." Good thing you told me people prefer sleeping at night and that night skiing is where people go skiing at night.

They are still using some of those old old home made snow guns
Sorry about the necro - those are SMI SnowStream 320. They're hard to get parts for anymore, and they're about the only design of mechanical nucleation gun ever made. They work by smacking water with differently angled alloy fan blades. Some of the blades just shatter the water into mist, and some sling tiny ice shards off to act as nucleation sites. They can be tricky to run well, but several snowmakers I know have pretty good opinions of them. They're also relatively efficient compared to other guns from that time period, and they don't need a lot of maintenance like a fan gun does.
