Sky Giant II Benefits
  • Most cost-effective way to create world
        class snow.
  • With significant energy savings, the Sky
        Giant Snow Gun will pay for itself in just
        one ski season.
  • Provides substantial energy savings every
        season, by allowing you to use fewer air
        compressors for shorter periods of time.
  • Uses 50% less total energy than fan guns.
  • Contains no moving parts to maintain or
        repair (unlike fan guns).
  • Easy to operate, requires little maintenance.
  • Easy automation—snow guns are either
        on or off.
  • No electric power is required on the
        mountain.
  • Four nozzle sizes available (Sizes A,B,C,
        & D).
  • Available with fixed or flanged head.
  • Also available with Teflon-coated head.


    •   Flanged Head Option
  • With the flanged head option, you can connect Ratnik air-water flanged snow
        gun heads to your Sky Giant II towers to maximize snow output in warmer
        temperatures.
  • All Ratnik flanged heads are easily interchangeable so you can quickly adjust
        your snowmaking operations to meet changing weather conditions.
