how does it work?
what are those machines doing?

how does one create snow in an otherwise snowless place?
how can it be done above freezing temperatures?
it must be possible.

Snowolf

The way commercial snow making machines work is there is a tube like housing with a ring of water nozzles and a very high power fan. As water at high pressure exits the nozzles like misters in hot climates, the fan super cools the water dorplets almost instantly and then blows the crystals out into the air where it files in a concentrated area like natural snow. The ambient air temperature must be below freezing for the process to work and an ideal temperature is in the mid 20`s F. If it is too cold, the nozzles ice up unless heated. In super cold locations like the upper mid west or Alaska, the water has to be heated to prevent it from freezing in the lines and nozzles.

yeah, i initially had hopes for maybe packing a tiny bit of somewhat workable snow together,
but it given the temperatures here, i would need solid ice just to keep it from melting immediately,
and fuck ice. it's a snowboard, not an iceboard.

tahoe it is.
(and i thought i would have some money to eat this season.)
