:: SMI® Snow Making System Vaults

SMI Snowmakers has developed many types of vaults for use with our snow machines including the Viking Snowtower, SMI PoleCat Fan Guns, and SMI Wizzard Fan Guns. Our vaults are designed and customized to meet specific customer needs. Two standard types of vaults we have available are 1) Metal Culvert and 2) Concrete.

All vaults provided by SMI are durable, high quality, built to last and designed for snowmaking systems. We will customize the vault design per your specifications. Some configurations created for customers include
