Hi,

This is my first time on this site. I saw a news article about a 12yr old kid who built a snow machine and decided I need to build one. I am originally from WI where we get a lot of snow. Here in KY we have the cold, but seldom the snow. I am a pilot and a pretty handy guy. My neighbor is a tool maker with a lot of tools. Together we know just enough to be dangerous.

I looked at some plans for several snow guns. I am thinking of trying to build a Sue15b. Any suggestions, comments or concerns? If I do build this, where do I get the parts from? I would like to start building ASAP.

Thanks
Skiddy123

if you use the search tool and search sue15 you will find all the information you need

good luck welcome

I don't where you live in Kentucky, but I live in New Albany, IN about 5 minutes from Louisville. Drop me a line.

I live in the east end by the Summit. Have you made a gun. If so did you buy the parts locally or on line? I need a gun that will give me a path 20' x 400' x 2'for the hill behind my house. I would appreciate any advice.

Thats 16,000 cubic feet of snow, which is about 54,400 gallons of water. Your gonna need some serious snowmaking to cover that..

thats an insane run. ur gonna need a big pump and alot of time

But before you buy pumps and crazy things, you should make a T-Gun first. You will find detailed instructions in the T-Gun section. After you master that, you can move up to a combo. :-)

Welcome to the Site!
I too am from Kentucky, but I am on the other end of the state in Mayfield.

Have fun making snow.

After a harsh winter. I am playing catchup with things here.

How did your first winter go? With our Ice storm I got knocked out of making snow for the best part of winter.

With all the heat, I am ready for the snow now.

You guys in KY east of I75? Some strong storms passing by there yesterday afternoon...

You guys got ice, we got like 10" of snow here..lol then a little ice, if I remeber correctly. I think this was the first winter I can remember where it didn't rain all winter....

Did not get it here, we were in the nineties all weekend. I am Way west
