CHS Snowmakers provides snowmaking equipment, resort equipment, and specialized products for ski resorts and mountain operations throughout North America and internationally. With over 35 years of ski industry experience, we understand the challenges of snowmaking, lift maintenance, grooming, and day-to-day mountain operations.
Our core product line includes DRIFT snowmaking additive, Chairlift Water Tender for chairlift load testing, Joka Gloves & Mittens, Niedner snowmaking hose, snowmaking equipment and parts, and the Alpine Hauler for moving equipment and supplies around the mountain. We also offer snowmaking equipment rentals, consulting, and specialized solutions for ski areas of all sizes and various snow sports.
Mountain Operations Support & CHS Classifieds
CHS Snowmakers works directly with ski resort management, snowmaking crews, lift maintenance departments, contractors, and other mountain operations professionals to find practical solutions built for real world conditions.
In addition to new equipment and supplies, we operate the CHS Classifieds for used ski industry equipment, helping buyers and sellers connect throughout the ski industry. From improving snowmaking efficiency and repairing snowmaking hose to chairlift load testing, equipment transport, rentals, and fire pre-planning, CHS Snowmakers is focused on products and services that help ski areas operate more efficiently, safely, and economically.
Why Choose CHS Snowmakers
Ski industry experience you can rely on. With over 35 years in snowmaking and mountain operations, we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t on real mountains, not just in a catalog. Jason and the CHS team have hands-on experience installing, repairing, and troubleshooting the same equipment we sell, so when you call with a question, you’re talking to people who understand the job.
One source for equipment, parts, and expertise. Instead of chasing down snowmaking parts from one vendor, used equipment from another, and consulting from a third, CHS Snowmakers brings it together in one place. Whether you need a replacement hose fitting, a used snowcat, or help planning a new snowmaking system, we can point you in the right direction or get it to you directly.
