Special Thank you to All Second Nature Snowmakers!


I just wanted to give a special thank you to everyone that has helped make Second Nature Snowmaking a success! Four years ago I took my passion for snowmaking and created the first, affordable line of home snowmaking equipment in the world. Now, hundreds and hundreds of snowmaking enthusiasts have been able to give their families the gift of snow when they wouldn't have been able to afford it beforehand.

This business really is a dream come true. I love snowmaking and I love helping other get started in this fun, exciting hobby. Just yesterday a friend asked me about my business and I bubbled over with enthusiasm as I told her how exciting it is the first time I make snow each year...anxiously waiting by the thermometer for the temperatures to drop low enough to start blowing snow (p.s. just 2.5 months till snowmaking season!).

The '08-'09 season is shaping up to be a great one and I look forward to helping even more people get started in the greatest hobby in the world...home snowmaking!

Snowmaking Science Fair Project

Kurt Renn, a home snowmaker that got his start with Second Nature Snowmaking sent in a video of the snowmaking system he tweaked and tested as part of a science fair project for his kids. He recently sent in a video of his snowmaking blowing out the white stuff. You can check out the video by clicking the link below.

We're Making Snow!!!

After weeks of being frustratingly close to snowmaking temps, the mercury dropped into the mid 20's this morning and we took full advantage, making snow for a little over an hour to record the first snow this year! Below are a few pics and a short movie from this mornings session:

We were able to get down about 2-3" before the sun came up and things started to warm up. With another cold morning coming up, we should have some more snowmaking fun soon!

We Made the Channel 11 News in Atlanta!

Gregg,

Wanted to let you know how well your snowmaker worked for my kids last winter. We live in Rome, Ga. where we seldom get snow, but during the end of December and January we made an area about 100 feet in length, 20 feet wide and over 2 FEET DEEP! The kids had a toboggan run down the hill out front and we made Channel 11 News in Atlanta and had a front page shot in our Newspaper!We ended up having snow until the first of March. I still have pictures if you need any for your website or please use me as a testimonial.


Sincere Thanks,
Duncan Blankenship
