Abstract: A snowmaking system includes a snowmaking module with a snowmaking gun operable to generate snow and at least one hydrant in fluid communication with the snowmaking gun. The snowmaking gun includes a control box operable to control one or more actuators. The snowmaking system includes a water source in fluid communication with the at least one hydrant via a water conduit. Operable parameters of the water conduit are adjustable based on water data received from sensors that monitor water within the water conduit. The snowmaking system includes an air source in fluid communication with the at least one hydrant via an air conduit. Operable parameters of the air conduit are adjustable based on air data received from sensors that monitor air within the air conduit. At least one of height and angle of rotation of the snowmaking gun is adjustable based on external environment data from a weather station.

Abstract: The invention is a snowmaking automation system and snowmaking automation modules for use with snowmaking guns and hydrants. Embodiments of the snowmaking automation modules described herein may be battery powered, and thus do not require fixed electrical infrastructure, but are designed to use such infrastructure if present on the mountain. In some embodiments, various components of the snowmaking automation system may be wireless and thus do not require hard-wired communications, for example between base stations, servers, databases, repeater nodes and remotely controlled snowmaking guns and hydrants with their snowmaking automation modules installed.
