i'd rather hear about you making snow in your backyard
Ok, here you go. You may find this interesting. I should have done this in December/January when I was actually making a lot of snow.

I'll take boilerplate ice over wet snow any day

Nice job, Ethan. How come you put that here and not in snowmaking/operations thread? Also, how long does it take you to cover enough trail to take a run?

With the existing setup, I like to run for about 18-24 hours before I get the gang together to bang the snow out with shovels and then we take our runs. This weekend will be a much lighter approach.

I'll put it in Snowmaking/operations too.

The gas for the pump only costs me about a $1.00-1.25 per hour with the current gas prices and the compressor draws about 3.5 KW, so that's about $.35

Call it $1.50 an hour. Factor in the total cost of the equipment and it's a lot more than that.

Why does she think I'm insane? Everyone has a hobby.

Allow me to point you in the direction of some other kids just like me who did the exact same thing up in Maine. https://mainesnowmakers.com

He's probably done with the forum. I can't blame him honestly.
