The snow we manufacture, Areco snow, is of the highest class. Snow making is easy on paper - all you need is water, compressed air and sub-zero temperatures. However, you need excellent equipment to consistently produce good snow in large quantities - including periods of marginal temperatures and humid conditions. At the tests in Lech, where almost all fan guns on the market are subjected to independent testing, Areco snow making systems come top year after year when it comes to snow quality, snow quantity and energy efficiency. Areco's automatic snow production systems ensure you have access to good snow throughout the entire season.

1. Firstly, the snow manufacturing equipment; fan guns, lances and associated accessories. Provided your guns and lances are set up for automatic control and monitoring, we can automate your snow system - irrespective of the type of equipment you use. If you have manual guns and lances, we replace them with Areco automatic equipment.
2. The second area is everything that flows to and from the snow making equipment - water, electricity and compressed air must be able to be controlled and monitored automatically. Components such as pumps, hydrants and section valves must be able to be remote controlled.

Communication between these two areas, along with Areco' s SuperSnow software, are at the heart of the system. Under the heading "What are the components" you can see what constitutes an efficient, fully automated snow system from Areco.
