Let It Snow!

Hello, everyone! We are two students from the Kildonan School that are in a unique program called EDGE. This is a self-guided program that allows students to take an initiative and explore a subject that interests them for a year (https://goo.gl/Zb3NcF). Through this program, several students have come together to bring something new and exciting to the school's campus. Those students, James and Ben, intend to install a snowmaking system on one of the hills on-campus. The school already happens to have a certified ski program, making it a ski school. If we get a snowmaker, we can ski more frequently on-campus.   


So… what have we done so far? We realized that a snowmaker is too expensive, so we are trying to build one instead. In fact, the gun itself has almost been constructed.  It’s based on several successful models that have been out on the market for years.  It uses three pressure nozzles for spreading the water in a misty state so that it can fall slowly to the ground, giving it plenty of time to freeze.  In addition, we were loaned a powerful air compressor to help break down the water into ever smaller molecules.


Here is where we need your help:  all we need is a powerful pressure washer capable of putting out 2.5 - 3.5 GPM (gallons per minute).  If you, or somebody you may know, is interested in helping us acquire a pressure washer or otherwise supporting our dream to bring skiing and snowboarding back to the Kildonan campus, we would love to hear from you.  Join us in bringing a long, successful, snowy season to our school by donating to our GoFundMe.


Thank you,

James & Ben
