News, Photos and a Holiday Season recap

 

Greetings again!

We just wanted to take time today to check in with everyone and give you all a quick update on what Ice Now has been up to.

The holidays were a busy time for us this year. One of our biggest changes in 2014 was that it marked the VERY FIRST year that we offered snow in the city of Las Vegas.

This launch was HUGE for us and required new strategies as we always have a manager on site to oversee the snow production and trouble-shoot as necessary.

These types of events are different each and every time we do them. Most obstacles we can pinpoint ahead of time, and some pop up unexpectedly no matter how much planning is done beforehand. This is exactly why we always do a site visit (which is free) before the day of the event.

And while we can’t say that every event went off without a hitch, we can say that every customer we had a contract with received the snow they ordered on time. That is something to be proud of.

We had so many opportunities through our new Las Vegas division. We delivered snow everywhere from private events to paid public sledding, small 10 ton deliveries to 40+ tons of snow, and from North Las Vegas to Henderson.

There are two things we can say from our experiences. First, Las Vegas loves to have a good time. And second, we look forward to providing snow into the New Year and then coming back to do it all again.

*Note: While Ice Now produces snow year-round, the busy season is in the colder months*

Thank you for following us into the New Year. Follow and see the surprises we have in store!

Phoenix and Vegas neighborhoods with spectacular Christmas/holiday light displays

One of my favorite childhood memories was driving through neighborhoods lit with Christmas lights. These were homes transformed into magical kingdoms of moving figures and electric bills totaling hundreds of dollars a night to delight those who drove by. Our eyes would grow bigger the more extravagant that the displays became.

I now scope out light displays to take my children to see, ones that elicit 'oohs' and 'ahhhhs' from the backseat.

There are several of these neighborhoods in Phoenix, Arizona-- notably an area of Glendale with homes owned by the Swift trucking company-- but also areas like THESE.

Las Vegas is also no stranger to spectacular light displays. The City of Henderson is even hosting a Christmas Light Competition where 50 homes can compete in different categories. If you want to see what locals recommend, check out the conversation HERE.

We at Ice Now AZ and Ice Now NV may be a little bias, but don't you think these homes would look even more spectacular lit up AND covered in snow?

We still have a few snow appointments available so be sure to contact us soon!
