North Star ice equipment has been installed at large ski resorts, theme parks and other attractions to create indoor and outdoor snow surfaces for skiing, snowboarding and other winter recreation. Produced by industrial flake ice makers, North Star snow can be used to create a realistic winter environment to enhance the visitors’ experience.
CONSIDERATIONS
North Star flake ice equipment offers a distinct advantage over conventional snowmaking equipment because it makes snow at ambient temperatures above freezing. With North Star, recreation companies don’t have to wait for winter conditions to make snow as with conventional snowmaking equipment. North Star snow is also “sub-cooled” making it free flowing, so can be easily move using mechanical or pneumatic systems, and it provides a natural skiing surface.
YEAR-ROUND PRODUCTION
North Star offers a distinct advantage over conventional snowmaking equipment because snow can be produced at ambient temperatures above freezing. Winter conditions are no longer required allowing recreation companies to have control over season start and end dates.
LOW TEMPERATURE SNOW
The sub-cooled and free flowing nature of North Star snow will last longer at temperatures above freezing, the consistency allows for easy grooming with existing equipment, and it provides a natural skiing surface that is ideal for long recreational seasons.
EASY SNOW TRANSPORT
North Star snow is sub-cooled making it free flowing. This allows the snow to be easily moved using mechanical or pneumatic systems.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
With North Star systems, no water is wasted throughout the snowmaking process. The equipment is economically sound by removing the need for chemical snow inducers and additives.
QUALITY EQUIPMENT
Unlike water-cooling of aggregate, flake ice cooling does not produce waste water or require excess water disposal. With North Star systems, all water required for ice making is contained and utilized.
VERSATILITY
North Star ice systems are built using proven and established technology. The rugged and dependable craftsmanship will ensure smooth operation for decades.
In addition, North Star snow can be used indoors or outdoors, in high traffic areas near lifts, in teaching areas, on terrain parks and snow tubing hills.
