Ski resorts cope with minimal snowfall every year by making their own. Up until now, the cost and design of such large snow blowers kept availability out of reach for those of us simply “dreaming of a White Christmas.” The Backward Blizzard changes all that and for a price that is very affordable .
The Blizzard Sport model is very portable, and allows users to cover an entire front and back yard at about 50 cubic feet of genuine snow per hour with its 1.5 hp aircompressor and high-pressure water pump. Users just plug the Backyard Blizzard into a standard 20-amp electrical outlet, hook up a garden hose on a cold winter day, and kids can have a great day of sledding, snowball fights and making Frosty.

The cost is about $2,400 plus another $289 for shipping. Unfortunately, those looking to get one will have to wait until “next year,” as the Backyard Blizzard is already sold out for 2007.
