Come Join the 6thth Annual Snowie Summit - The Ultimate Snowie Training Event!

Come and join us in Salt Lake City, Utah on February 28th through March 1st for the 6th Annual Snowie Summit 2019!

At this Snowie event, all are welcome. Breakfast, Lunch, as well as a special Dinner and Event on Thursday night will be provided!

Over these two days, you will learn all about Snowie Shaved Ice, have hands on experience with the equipment they manufacture, taste and compare the products they provide, and learn how you can use them in your own Shaved Ice Business.

Whether you are brand new to the idea, or if you have been doing Shaved Ice for years,
being exposed to all that Snowie offers can either give you a unique start or a brand new approach to your existing business.

Come spend some time with us. Seeing it in person makes all the difference.
