Sky Giant II

Pays for itself in just one season.

Save up to 80% of compressed air energy costs with the Ratnik Sky Giant II Snow Gun. And at temperatures of 10°F (-12°C) or colder, you won’t need any compressed air!

Flanged Head Option

  • With the flanged head option, you can connect Ratnik air-water flanged snow gun heads to your Sky Giant II towers to maximize snow output in warmer temperatures.
  • All Ratnik flanged heads are easily interchangeable so you can quickly adjust your snowmaking operations to meet changing weather conditions.

Benefits:

  • Cost-effective way to create world class snow.

  • Provides substantial energy savings every season, by allowing you to use fewer air compressors for shorter periods of time.

  • Uses 50% less total energy than fan guns.

  • Contains no moving parts to maintain or repair.

  • Easy to operate, requires little maintenance.

  • Easy automation—snow guns are either on or off.

  • No electric power is required on the mountain.

  • Four nozzle sizes available (Sizes A,B,C, & D).

  • Available with fixed or flanged head.
