In layman's terms, ski resorts buy machines that shoot misted water into the air when the air temperature is below a certain point. The mist freezes in the air and falls back to the ground (ski run) as snow.

∙ 10y agoSki resorts use snow guns to make snow. And you can make one of your own.
You need a very powerful fan - a big industrial drum fan would work - a piece of copper tubing, a fitting to connect it to a garden hose, some means to connect the tubing to the hose, a cap to solder on the other end of the tubing, and a garden hose hooked to a water spigot.
Start by drilling a bunch of holes in the tubing. Put the fittings on the tubing. Bend the tubing into a circle and attach it to the front side of the fan.
When you want to make some snow, wait until it gets down to about 30 degrees. Turn the fan on full blast, then turn on the water. The fan will blow the water away from it, and it'll freeze into snow.
A ski resort snow gun has a bigger fan than your snow gun does and they feed water to it with a fire hose, but it's the same principle.

∙ 13y agoSimply because they need more snow. It's cold enough for the snow to not melt, but it hasn't snowed enough yet, so they make fake snow.
