What our customers say:

I highly recommend Mel Chikato and Reliable Snow Service. The City of Brea purchased 40 tons of snow for 9 years from him and had 300-500 kids and adults playing in the snow at our annual Snow Play Day. We were extremely pleased with his service. He has a quality product, efficient, pleasant to work with, reliable and always on time.
Pat Tremayne, City of Brea Events Specialist II, Community Service Department
Mel Chikato provided the snow for the City of Glendale, CA Winter Wonderland event for more than 15 years. The free play areas and snow slides, comprised of 60 – 80 tons of snow, were enjoyed by over 5,000 attendees annually. Mel provided outstanding customer service and a first-rate snow product. He and his team were conscientious, on time and always accommodating. I highly recommend Reliable Snow Service and give them a five-star rating!
Karen Fries, Community Services & Parks Department
I want to thank you again for your attendance at Snowfest and give you the “snow vendor” information you had requested. We use Reliable Snow Service. I highly recommend getting a quote from Mel, as he offers competitive pricing, is extremely professional to work with, and very knowledgeable on your snow needs and layout.
