Harvestor of Sorrow Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Ok, I was at the Boot today and I heard a nasty rumor. I was eating lunch seated next to what could have only been some snowmakers. And I overheard them talking about their plans for the week. So when I heard the word SnoMax I was alarmed. I trust you all know what SnoMax is. I think it's safe to say everyone should watch themselves for the next few weeks. Be careful out there guys. I'll update this later on if I hear anything more. I have a few moles on the mountain. Peace out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoHigh Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 What the hell is SnowMax? With the way your post sounds, it doesn't look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyro_boarder Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 What the hell is SnowMax? With the way your post sounds, it doesn't look good. It's an additive used to increase snow production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoHigh Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 It's an additive used to increase snow production. So its a GOOD thing? Or since they are adding an additive, its a bad thing? What ever brings more snow is fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvestor of Sorrow Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 It's an additive used to increase snow production. You're right. But mixed with one of the new chemicals they had to use this year due to the warm weather, it can form into a very abrasive substance. Just as long as they use the right mixture, everything will be fine. If not, look out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoHigh Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 But I was reading its a snow mobile oil But why would you have exposed skin? Or is it for jackets/skis/boards etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimreaper Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) Relax there Bringer of the Funk. SnoMax is simply a bacteria added to the snowmaking system that forms a nucleus that allows the water to more easily form a "snow flake", but since I'm pretty sure the Booter no longer uses it you have nothing to worry about. By the way where have you been? You have missed some extra foggy conditions but light crowds so get your hazmat suit on and lets go.

skifreak Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 SnowMax is just fine, a lot of resorts use it. If it wasn't safe, it wouldn't be on the market... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 SnowMax is just fine, a lot of resorts use it. If it wasn't safe, it wouldn't be on the market... Just like cigarettes, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 SnowMax is just fine, a lot of resorts use it. If it wasn't safe, it wouldn't be on the market... Isn't it bad for the environment in mass quantities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefgroovy Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Just don't go eatin' the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skifreak Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Just like cigarettes, right? Well I guess I never thought of that Isn't it bad for the environment in mass quantities? The only people that really say that are the tree huggers. York Snow is the maker of Snowmax (same people that make the snowguns on Razors Edge, Paradise, new guns on Sidwinder etc. they look like B10's.) anyway, had a press release on their site from a college in Utah that did a study on the enviornmental effects of Snowmax. I don't know if its still there, but the results were nothing harmful. I think a lot of people panic because they hear bacteria is in the solution.

I'd me more concerned about washing my hands before going to the bathroom...I don't want any of that bacteria getting on places that it shouldn't .
