Claim 14:
15. A snowmaking automation system for controlling the generation of snow, comprising:
at least one hydrant for selectively receiving and delivering at least one of pressurized water and compressed air;
a snowmaking gun coupled to the at least one hydrant to selectively receive the pressurized water and the compressed air;
a first automation module coupled to the at least one hydrant and a second automation module coupled to the snowmaking gun, wherein the first and second automation modules each comprise:
a housing for attachment to the respective at least one hydrant and snowmaking gun;
a motor mounted inside the housing and coupled to an actuator interface, the motor configured to selectively drive the respective at least one hydrant and the snowmaking gun, respectively; and
an interface and a means for communication configured to provide user control of the respective at least one hydrant and the snowmaking gun via the first and second automation modules, respectively, and thereby control generation of the snow remotely.
