No—Our real snow machine does not require any chemicals or snow additives of any kind. SnowMagic® is an environmentally friendly snow making company. Water is the only “ingredient.” If you are drawing from a natural body of water, as opposed to a well or municipal supply, you may wish to filter the water to remove sediment.
Snow Q&A
SnowMagic® Inc. provides temperature-independent snowmaking services. Using our real snow machine, we create snow-covered settings for any type of venue—recreational facilities, outdoors and indoors—without relying on natural snow and/or cold weather.
YES! Our real snow machine creates snow using only water—not additives or artificial materials. Our ICS™ Unit Module 50T/D uses patented technology to freeze water into tiny snow crystals. Learn more about our technology, or see it in action in our videos.
Snow melts—which is why a successful SnowMagic® installation starts with good site planning and management. We work with you to design a successful installation from start to finish as part of our comprehensive snowmaking services.
• We partner with you to design efficient drainage to remove melted snow quickly and re-use the water.
• Prior to opening there is a period of snow production to build up a sufficient base of snow, which will self-insulate the surface.
• Replenish the snow surface as needed – snow can be made 24 hours/day or during off-hours.
• Other design elements can include climate control (indoor venues) and site planning to account for sun/shade factors.
The average micron size (diameter) of our snow is 0.1 to 0.3 mm.
The ICS™ System equipment makes use of a distribution hose that enables us to distribute the snow more than 600 feet from the ICS™ unit in any direction.
An ICS™ unit produces 150 tons of real snow per day, which is equivalent to approximately 11,000 cubic feet of snow.
An ICS™ system uses approximately 200KwH and 32 gallons of water per minute.
