Automating A Home Snowmaking System Using An AVR Microcontroller
2018Since its invention in the 1950s, snowmaking has been vitally important to the ski industry, lengthening season length, and bringing skiing and snowboarding to areas where it would not previously have been possible. In the past decade and a half, snowmaking system automation has become widespread due to its potential for increased efficiency and ...

First feedback on safety and pathology of high-altitude dams for snowmaking
2006In winter sports resorts, the construction of dams to provide water storage for the snowmaking have significantly increased over the last decade. These high-altitude dams ranging from 1,300 meters to 2,500 meters, about 10 m high, are mostly waterproofed with a Geomembrane Sealing System (GSS) over the upstream face of the embankment and the whole ...

Field Studies of Feldspar-Assisted Snowmaking: Effects on Snow Volume, Density, and Reflectivity
Under most atmospheric conditions, snowfall is triggered by the freezing of supercooled water droplets in clouds through heterogeneous nucleation on airborne particles. Among the most efficient atmospheric ice-nucleating particles, capable of inducing freezing at temperatures only a few degrees below 0 °C, are feldspar minerals.Albert Verdaguer +2 more

Revegetating the banks of snowmaking reservoirs: Benefits for freshwater alpine biodiversity
Snowmaking reservoirs are unique hydraulic structures constructed at high altitudes within ski resorts for artificial snow production. Their number increased in response to uncertain water resources attributed to global warming and escalating demands from winter tourism, and are now integral components of the aquatic landscape in the Alps.Gerfand, Benjamin +4 more
