Snow Making For Local Club

We have been kicking around the idea for years about purchasing a snow
making unit for a local group of skiers. Anyone seen some nice setups
in their travels? I understand running the snow making equipment and
making snow is pricery than the original cost. Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

Call up the proprietor of Cross Country Ski Headquarter in Roscommon,
Michigan. (Forgive me, I'm blanking on his name.) It's the only
private place I know of that makes snow for XC on a pretty small
scale. He's a freindly guy, and I'm sure he could fill you in.

One of the issues of Master Skier this past season had an article
about snowmaking. If you find it useful I can put you in touch with
the author if you like.

Hans Karlsen who owns High Point Cross Country and Salmon Hills has
two snowmaking units. I remember skiing on 2K of manmade snow at HPXC.
Find his email he http://www.xcskihighpoint.com/

I asked for this info a year ago on this forum.
Our club also needs an easy start-package that does not cost so much.

And we found it in a brand new system that does not require extra
digging of water canals and major upgrading of electricity. Picture

Norwegian and Swedish made.
