Where do you buy a snow making machine (not DIY kits)?
Snow in northern Louisiana (in USA) is rare to get, and the occasional forecast for snow is a hit-and-miss. Where do you buy a snow machine that is already assembled at a factory? Can you rent a snow machine in Louisiana? I don't want DIY kits on eBay. I don't want to use fake chemical snow solution and a matching machine.

For a real snow gun, you will need:
The snow gun itself. Can get a well used one for $7,000 or so, $25,000-$50,000 new.
A water pump capable of 130 or so gallons a minute at 250psi, preferably 350-400psi along with water source.
480v Electrical hookup/generator.
27F or lower temps.
Some 1 1/2" or 2" pressure rated snowmaking hose.
That is if you want to make some serious snow, like a sledding hill.
Also at least a side by side or skid steer to move the snow gun.
Or, if you are looking to make some "decorative" snow,

Snow-tech sells little ones for around $500. All you need is an air compressor and garden hose.

Snow machines are very large and require 240V power, water and compressed air to run. They don't work unless the air temperature is below 27°F.
I would imagine they would cost over $10k.
