Snow Machines Inc. (SMI), a US company specializing in snowmaking equipment, systems and design for resorts world-wide is headquartered in Midland, Michigan.
In 1974, the company was founded by Jim and Betty VanderKelen, with one employee while working out of their home and a small room in the back of a local carpet company.
But even then, Jim already sensed that the future of snowmaking would depend on energy efficiency and the ability to adapt to a variety of climates and weather conditions.
Their first product - an unusual but energy efficient snowmaking machine - was called the SnowStream 320 and it remains the only truly airless snowmaker ever successfully sold and used by hundreds of resorts all around the world.
