Determination of snowmaking efficiency on a ski slope from observations and modelling of snowmaking events and seasonal snow accumulation [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 The production of Machine Made (MM) snow is now generalized in ski resorts and represents the most common method of adaptation for mitigating the impact of a lack of snow on skiing.

Snowmaking in the French Alps [PDF]
Revue de Géographie Alpine, 2015 Snowmaking facilities have been commonplace in the French Alps since 1974 and particularly since the 1990s. Now, nearly all resorts are equipped with snowmaking facilities, which guarantee snow for skiers and sufficient revenue for resorts.

Modelling investigation of water droplet evaporative freezing in artificial snowmaking [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 In this paper, a modelling investigation of water droplet evaporative freezing was conducted in order to better understand the snowmaking process and hence to optimise the design of the artificial snowmaking device.

Simulated hydrological effects of grooming and snowmaking in a ski resort on the local water balance [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2023 The presence of a ski resort modifies the snow cover at the local scale, due to snow management practices on ski pistes, especially grooming and snowmaking.

Current Technology Situation and Research Progress of Artificial Snowmaking
Zhileng xuebao, 2021 The principle of snowmaking is simple, however the process is complex and highly dependent on environmental conditions. In recent years, to achieve the goal of "300 million people on ice and snow" and to host the "2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games" China

Snowmaking in Austria: Energy consumption, water turnover, CO2 emissions
Current Issues in Sport ScienceIntroduction & Purpose Winters in Austria have warmed by 1.7 degrees Celsius since pre-industrial times (Olefs et al., 2020). Since 1961, snow cover periods in Austria have shortened by an average of 40 days (Olefs et al., 2020).

Snowmaking and Climate Change [PDF]
Mountain Research and Development, 2008 Winter tourism is highly sensitive to climate change. The sufficiently studied altitudinally dependent line of natural snow reliability is losing its relevance for skilift operators in Austria, where 59% of the ski area is covered by artificial snowmaking.

Climate Change and Utah Ski Resorts: Impacts, Perceptions, and Adaptation Strategies
Mountain Research and Development, 2021 Climate change is a threat to ski resorts, the ski industry, and mountain communities that rely on ski tourism. Ski resorts may be able to mitigate some of the social and economic impacts caused by climate change with proactive adaptation strategies ...
