What is the Level of Snow you will have at your Event?
Too many try using just one model or one type of snow machine to make different intensity's of snow, from a light North Carolina Flurry to a Minnesota Blizzard. They also rely on the machine's internal settings to go from light to heavy snow, only by the strategic placement of the right machine and wind fans will gain a sucessful snow event from flurries to blizzard. If you only had one type or style machine to go from flurries to Blizzard you would o go from 2 machines to 18 machines. You shouldn't need to have 18 machines unless you have a huge project.
Snow requires practice
and knowledge of what equipment is out there and available, so we will
need to know the following to propose a price. Change any of these item you
change the price.
1. Indoor or outdoor
2. Location City - State
3. Snow Conditions - What your weather forecast? Flurries - heavy snow - blizzard
4. How many machines need. We need the lineal footage of the area where snow
is needed (a 60 x 60 dance floor/ a 60 x 80 ballroom/ an entrance) "linear
foot" refers to the number of feet in a straight line of material.
5. The height of the room or height that snow machines can be placed. The
snow needs fall time to spread and travel outward.
6. Where will the machine be placed and get the electric? (on a roof/ballroom
on ceiling truss/on portable tripods)
7. The total days and the total time the machines need to run.
