CHS Snowmakers

The Cornice II Snowmaker is ideal for making snow over larger areas. Use it for cross country ski trails, sledding hills, or even small ski trails or lift mazes. It uses 1" snowmaking hose with cam locks and needs about 25 - 75 cfm of compressed air. We design underground snowmaking systems for the Cornice II Snowmaker, scroll down for more and go to Snowmaking Systems for details on the systems. We also have a complete portable snowmaking system with two Cornice II Snowmakers, a pump, hose and fittings for less than $5900. You will have to supply the air compressor. For metric conversions go to the bottom of this page. You can order Cornice II Snowmakers at the bottom of this page.
	The Cornice II Snowmaker is designed to use low water and air pressure yet make a larger volume of snow than the Cornice Snowmaker. Because of the lower volume of air and lower air pressure, the Cornice II Snowmaker is much quieter than full size snowmakers. The Cornice II uses between 25 and 75 cfm (depending on the nozzle and air temperature) as compared to many air and water snowmakers that use 300+ cfm. Those types of snowmakers sound like jet engines several hundred feet away.
You can use the Cornice II Snowmaker on your cross country ski trails. For the noise sensitive areas near homes you can use a smaller nozzle to reduce the noise levels. This will reduce the amount of snow produced, yet allow you to still make snow. For detailed information on our snowmaking systems including underground and portable above ground click here.
	The Cornice II Snowmaker is easy to use. It must be 27° F or colder to make snow. Here is a set up list (Detailed instructions come with the snowmaker): 1. Place snowmaker on tripod in location where you want to make snow. 2. Hook up dry 1" hose from compressed air-line to snowmaker. 3. Hook up 1" hose to water supply and hook up to snowmaker. 4. Turn on air and water to snowmaker. 5. Adjust air and water valves on snowmaker until you are making snow.
A common misnomer is that snowmaking uses chemicals-- there are technically no chemicals that need to be added to water to make snow. There are, however additives available such as Driftä which makes the water freeze faster, producing more snow. The Cornice II Snowmaker operates best with air pressure between 90 and 100 psi. Water pressure can be as low as 60 psi yet 100 psi or greater improves production. Max water psi is 300. For greater pressures contact us.
