Standard Polecat
Mid-Range Throw
The Standard Polecat delivers reliable, mid-range snowmaking with our proven Polecat technology. Choose between a 15 HP or 10 HP fan, and 18 nozzles for manual or 24 nozzles for automatic configurations. Best for terrain that doesn't require maximum throw but still needs consistent, high-quality snow.
Available in both automatic and manual operational configurations. Automatic models feature an onboard weather station, continuous monitoring of air and water pressure, and automated flow controls. Manual models keep it cost-effective with components organized for easy servicing and faster troubleshooting.
