The Snowmaking Experts

"With the addition of the Low Energy Sky Giant VI-M’s we have dramatically increased our snowmaking production while using less compressed air! We are delighted with their performance and highly recommend them.”

Greg Sottosanti

Mountain Operations, Thunder Ridge Ski Area

"I can't express how much I love a Ratnik. I would take a Snow Giant of any kind over any other gun on the market. The ability to produce "skiable" snow these days with the warmer temperatures we've been experiencing the past few years sets Ratnik apart from all the rest."

Morgan Langey

Whiteface Mountain

"Ratnik Industries is the only snow making company that manufactures a snow gun suitable for my operation... The Mid Energy Baby Snow Giant on towable sled is a great inexpensive, low cost to run Snow Gun which uses a lower pressure cheaper infrastructure.”

Daniel Bowker

Environmental Compliance, Maine Wild Blueberry Co.

Tim Wang and Ratnik Industries took a chance on us rookie owners, and now, we can honestly make snow with the best of them. Beyond the technical expertise, the service is what stood out to me the most. Always available, always helping.
