CHS Snowmakers Acquires Drift We are thrilled to announce that Drift Snowmaking Additive is under new ownership, and the reins are now in the capable hands of CHS Snowmakers. This change became official earlier this month, and we’re happy to share this exciting news with you. Our long-standing partnership with Aquatrols, which began almost two decades ago, took an unexpected turn when Aquatrols was acquired by a new company earlier this year. In the past few months, we initiated discussions that have led us to this point. Here’s why this is such a game-changer for CHS Snowmakers’ customers: 1. **Drift Pricing Slashed**: The most amazing part of this news is how low we’ve dropped the cost of Drift. It’s like stepping back in time, with pricing from over five years ago! 2. **Proven Benefits**: We have witnessed the incredible benefits of Drift, and this winter, we’re planning comprehensive testing to reaffirm these advantages. 3. **Full Ownership**: CHS Snowmakers now holds all rights to Drift, and we intend to share it with you like never before. We value your input and experiences and invite you to share your additive stories (any additive), both positive and not-so-positive. If you’ve conducted tests, please consider sharing the […]
About 15 years ago, Martin shared his dream of opening a ski area with me, so I brought him an Areco fangun demo. He had a small snowmaking system set up to test snowmaking at a nearby site, now a golf course. In 2023, his long-standing vision will finally come to fruition with the opening of Hoedown Hill. When I first looked down the hill in May of 2022, I thought, “This is too big for a tubing hill.” After many video conferences and on-site time, we developed a plan to test out the tubing hill for the coming winter. CHS Snowmakers sourced the pump and snowcat to make snow so we could tube this hill. Three snowgun vendors came to the table and provided automatic fanguns. It will likely be the tallest tubing hill in the USA. In December, the hill turned white, a snowcapped Mount Hoedown. It was visible for miles, standing proudly on the High Plains of eastern Colorado. Our first tubing runs were fast but really good. We continued to make snow through December and early January and tubed it many more times. After the testing was complete, we went back to the drawing board. The […]
Chairlift Water Tender Rentals! August 11 update – We received our most recent protoype and it is 98% there. We have two corner seams to correct and the lenth of the Velcro straps. We will have our next prototype in the next few weeks. July 28 Update! We are very close to testing our final design. We will have a limited number of CWTs available for 2023 for load testing. If you are interested in purchasing 10 to 20 CWTs this year, please contact us. In 2024 we plan to be in full production. In early April, we debuted our Patent Pending Chairlift Water Tender and the response has been amazing! At the trade shows, our customers have shared their horror stories about load testing using trash cans that break, boxes with trash bags, and other random ways of adding weight to the chairs. One story stood out, a lift with trash cans that was nearly at capacity and it rolled back to the brake. It wouldn’t move off the brake and staff had to climb towers to get to trash cans to dump them. It was a three day ordeal! The […]
