Snow Magic

Snow-making machines were first used in the U.S. in 1949. There are two types of snow-making machines: snow guns and water sticks. Snow guns are large machines that send water high into the air where it freezes and falls as snow before hitting the ground, while water sticks are tall, thin poles that produce snow very quickly in a soft form similar to natural snowfall. These snow-making machines help ski resorts stay open and allow skiers to enjoy the sport.
