Crystal Ice has been serving Los Angeles since 1956. While our early snow productions were modest compared to today’s creations, our commitment to innovation has never stopped.

Over the decades, we’ve developed advanced techniques that allow us to design elaborate, enchanting snow scenes that rival the real thing. What started as a simple service has grown into a full-scale snow production operation trusted by homeowners, schools, corporations, and entertainment professionals alike.

Whether you need a sprawling winter landscape or a small snowfall effect, no project is too large or too small. One call is all it takes — and we’ll handle the rest.

Ever wonder how snow is made in sunny Southern California?

Artificial snow is created by spraying a fine mist of filtered water into a temperature-controlled freezer chamber. As the droplets hit the cold air, they freeze and crystallize into beautiful snowflakes. Originally developed for winter sports, modern snow-making technology now allows us to create snow for events, parties, film productions, and more.

Just like natural snow, artificial snow can vary in texture and size. We can produce:

• Large, fluffy flakes for dramatic snowfall effects
• Fine, compact flakes

Wet snow that packs perfectly for sledding and snowman-building

Tell us your vision, and we’ll craft the perfect snow to match.

Our snow is made primarily from purified water, combined with a safe nucleating agent to ensure proper crystal formation. Compressed air and controlled airflow prevent clumping and maintain ideal consistency.

So what can you do with snow in LA? Just about anything you’d do in a traditional winter setting — without leaving Southern California.
