Fresh Powder Snow, Where And When You Need It, No Matter What The Weather
For nearly a decade, North Star Snowmaking Systems have been helping resort operators add more days to their season by providing superior powder snow no matter what the weather.
North Star Makes Snow Where and When You Need It
Installed at over a dozen resorts, North Star Snowmaking Systems make snow at any temperature, in any season. The heavy-duty industrial units are built to last, use energy and water efficiently, and are safe for the environment. North Star also designs custom snowmaking installations for theme parks and other attractions. North Star Snowmaking Systems is a division of North Star Ice Equipment, the leader in industrial ice making and handling equipment since 1950.
Mobile Automatic Snowmaking Unit
Designed with the ultimate flexibility in mind, North Star’s stand-alone snowmaking system can be moved from place to 
place as snow requirements and weather dictate. The unit includes a heavy-duty snowmaking unit paired with a high RPM slinger to deliver snow where you want it. The unit can produce and deliver 100 cubic feet of snow per hour and is housed in a trailer van for easy transportation between locations. Theme parks, demonstration venues, and other snow attractions will find this unit provides the snowmaking capacity and the versatility that they need.
Centralized Snowmaking Plant
North Star’s full-scale snowmaking plant has been popular at Japanese ski resorts for nearly a decade, ensuring operators early opening days and longer seasons. North Star engineers a custom plant for each customer taking into account the client’s capacity and delivery requirements. The plant includes multiple snowmaking units, a storage bin equipped with a rake for
automatic delivery, and a pneumatic delivery system to multiple delivery points. Each storage unit holds up to 16,000 cubic feet of snow, which can be delivered to the slopes at a rate of 2,500 cubic feet per hour. Storage units can be combined for higher capacities.
