We often ask questions about the cost of snowmaking, but before we get an answer, let's review the snowmaking process. Natural snow is formed when super-cooled water droplets condense around dust or pollen nuclei in the sky. The water vapor freezes on ice crystals and grows into snow flakes as they fall into the atmosphere.

 

Since nature does not always cooperate with the timing and location of snowstorms, ski resorts have learned to make snow. The basic recipe for making snow is to mix water and compressed air, which is then sprayed from a tube called a snow gun. In reality, the process is much more complex. The type of weather, the type of terrain, and the type of technology used to mix the water and compressed air all affect the cost of snowmaking.

 

What you need

You need the same things you find in nature: water and cold temperatures. By dispersing water into particles small enough to freeze in cold air, you can turn water into snow.

Weather

Weather is in a constant state of flux. Weather fronts, daytime heating and nighttime cooling bring constant change. Temperature, humidity and wind speed also fluctuate. As a result, weather conditions may be favorable for snowmaking for only a short period of time, or sometimes not at all. Snow making machine has indoor snow making machine and outdoor snow making machine. If you want to know more about the best snow making machine for sale, welcome to contact us.


Wet Bulb Temperature

The relationship between temperature and humidity is called the wet bulb temperature. The wet bulb temperature is the lowest temperature at which water can evaporate into the air and is always less than or equal to the air temperature. Both temperature and humidity must be low enough to make snow. Snow can be made at temperatures above the freezing point, but only if the humidity is very low. When the humidity is very high, the temperature may have to be a few degrees below freezing for snow to fall.

 

The ability to make good quality snow also varies with the wet bulb temperature. If the air is too humid, the water on the droplets will not evaporate easily, resulting in wet, slushy snow. Wet bulb temperatures below 20°F are ideal for producing the dry snow needed.

Wind Speed

Wind can affect snowmaking efficiency in two ways. It directly affects the appearance of snow in the snow gun, giving the snow core more or less overhang time. The dwell time of the snow determines the size of the snowflake. Once it leaves the gun, it directs the flow of snow. If a certain percentage of snow falls anywhere outside the woods or trails, the cost of snowmaking increases, and these costs increase to the percentage of loss in those non-recoverable locations.

 

The snow making machine can make high quality snow under any of temperature and humidity. It is of low cost, low noise, available in any weather, safe, simple and small volume. It enjoys the advantages of sports & recreation, especially catering for the recreation or friend's party as well as commercial activities for citizen at weekend. The main structure of ski rink includes peripheral protective structure, indoor slope ramps, traction equipment, freezing equipment, snow-making system facilities, ski equipment, snow trimming facilities and snow sports facilities, etc.

 

Terrain

Topography, the size and shape of the ski trails, the distance of the mountain from the water source, and geology all affect the cost of making snow at a resort. Trails with higher verticals (elevation change from the bottom of the trail to the top of the trail) will require greater effort to get the pump to the top than trails with lower verticals. Depending on snow gun technology, compressed air lines or power lines must also be routed along both sides of the trail. Very steep ski slopes may pose difficulties when installing supply lines and support structures. Depending on the elevation change and its effect on the weather, more snow guns may be required at lower elevations due to the lower temperatures at higher elevations.
