Thanks for sharing what goes on at a ski hill for maintenance. I always found snow making interesting! I'm trying to figure out how the water lines don't freeze and burst when not in use? Happy new year as well!
All the lines are buried under ground below the frost line and the water hydrants are self draining. If you look up Ratnik Snowguns I believe they offer a very good diagram about how it works. Thanks for watching!
The water is always moving while the gun is in operation so it will not freeze. When operations are complete the system is setup self drain once you remove the water hose.
