Claim 0:
1. A snowmaking automation system for controlling the generation of snow, comprising:
a first hydrant for selectively receiving and delivering pressurized water;
a second hydrant for selectively receiving and delivering compressed air, the second hydrant including a valve operable to control output of the second hydrant;
a snowmaking gun coupled to the first hydrant to selectively receive the pressurized water and to the second hydrant to selectively receive the compressed air;
a first automation module coupled to the first hydrant and in communication with the valve operable to control output of the second 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 first hydrant and snowmaking gun;
a means for communication mounted within the housing, the means for communication being operable to provide user control to the respective first hydrant or second hydrant and snowmaking gun to selectively generate snow using the pressurized water and the compressed air; and
a battery mounted within the housing, the battery coupled to and configured for powering the means for communication.
