Cadillac Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 When I was up at Mt Snow I talked to Chis (hunter mt snowmaker);he said their are chemicals that will raise the man-made snow's melting tempture by changing the snows makeup! The problem is that it isn't approved for use in outdoor situations and is extremly expensive. They have been using it in Japan for indoor skiing. If Blue could get their hands on this they might be open for the 4th of JULY! Quote

skidude Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 They can add some checmicals to make snow at like 36 degrees (depending on humidity) There is somehting that can make snow in all temps.. I think it basiclly shoots out chushed ice. Quote
sexkitten Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 movie companies in hollywood use potatoes for sceenes they need snow in. Funny, that's what BC used on Sunday. Quote
bigdaddyk Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 I don't like the idea of adding chemicals. Last thing I want is for my legs to be eaten away. Quote
Justo8484 Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 i'm pretty sure blue already does use chemicals in their snowmaking to make it last longer and freeze more solidly. i dont remember the name of it, but if you look at your bases after riding there for a few days, you can see a white residue on them, which i believe is from the chemicals.

Schif Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 Funny, that's what BC used on Sunday. Those potatoes were just for your buddies the goats. Quote

No, that's called oxidation and means you should wax your skis more often Quote
