The Cornice III is the latest line of small snowmakers from CHS
Snowmakers. It is a hybrid air water snowmaker with internal mix
snowgun technology mixed with external mix technology. This
snowmaker solves a problem many ski areas have and no one else has
solved. A high producing, mobile low energy gun. It is on a
typical sled like any other ground air water snowmaker but only uses up
to 150 CFM of air. As it gets colder, the air use goes down and
water flow increases. When it is cold enough, you can open the
Plus nozzle and add a bunch more water to the mix.
If the normal low energy towers do not work for you, take a look at
the Cornice III.
Testing of the Cornice III at Ruby Hill. This snowmaker was run
from a 185 cfm portable compressor without a problem. One windy
night, this one snowmaker was the only gun making snow on the
slope. The fan guns were having a hard time keeping the snow in
the right place. This gun placed it right where we needed
it. This demo is sold but one more is available for $1900
