When a little isn't good enough: How much snow does your party need?

Welcome to our latest post for Man-made snow. We have already covered the Snow Event topics Why to Host a Snow Party, What to do for a Snow Party, How to Invite Friends to a Snow Party, and How Churches and Schools Benefit from Snow.

This is the final addition in the series so if you haven’t read the previous posts, I encourage you to take a look.

Then be sure to jump back here and find out How Much Snow it Takes to pull off your next event.

 

“Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery.”

-Bill Watterson

Children in cold country spend their time hoping for a good snowfall. For snow they will sink in. Snow that packs well. Enough to cover their favorite sledding hill.

In Phoenix and Las Vegas however, we help nature out a little bit. Children don’t spend the winter with noses pressed to chilled windows in hopes that a storm will form. Instead, parents pick out the location and depth of the snow they want to appear bright and early the next morning.

Because we can make whatever they order.

Every fairy-tale themed birthday party… Every White Christmas holiday gathering… Each ‘snow day’ festivity… We make it happen.

Which leaves the question… how much snow do you need?

Is more snow always better?

The hardest decision our customers have to make is HOW MUCH SNOW TO ORDER. We spend countless phone calls and emails counseling customers about how each ton covers approximately 200 square feet of yard space for minimum snow depth.

But sometimes, no matter how much explaining we do, the struggle continues. We watch the internal debate go back and forth, balancing budget versus the “bigger is better” theory.

And while we agree that bigger can definitely be better, we decided to share true life pictures to give everyone a better idea of what different quantities of snow look like.

It’s a great visual for indecision.

 

 

 

- A minimum for play areas is 5 tons of snow. It fits into most spaces and can handle a few children.

- 10 tons of snow begins to cover enough for a small sledding hill or a little bit larger play area.

- 20-40 tons of snow is typically ordered for large events with crowds of people.

Our main goal is happy customers. We can advise, but we can't tell YOU what will make YOUR vision come to life how you imagine.

And when you're ready to set the date in stone, give us a call.
