Good morning! Two mountains are open for snow riding, Timberline & Arapahoe Basin, Loveland will be soon. If you haven’t seen a picture of the lift line at A-Basin on Friday, it is on the CHS Snowmakers Facebook page. It is a great example of supply versus demand and makes all of the money spent on snowmaking well worth it.
Here is a quick update about CHS Snowmakers.
- CHS Trucking – I will be back on the road in November with my 51’ step deck trailer. It is set up for winching on a snowcat or snowguns. If you need anything hauled, please let me know.
- Joka Gloves – We have a bunch on the way from Finland and they will be here shortly. For larger orders, send me an email for a quote.
- Used Equipment – Things have been moving quickly and we expect to have several new items listed in the next few weeks.
- New Equipment – Contact me for a quote on hose, hydrants, Drift and the new BOGE oil-free small compressor line. The BOGE Air Compressor is designed for snowmaking and replaces Atlas Copco, Hydrovane and others. Available in both 5.5 HP and 7.5 HP with comparable air flows to the other brands. They are stocked in the Southeast and ready to ship.
