Poster: A snowHead

When the snow is a little hard and worn like it is becoming now, how fresh does the artificial snow making equipment keep the busy, low down pistes?

Just back from Meribel (as if you didn't know ! ) and the snow making machines didn't do much on the lower runs - it wasn't really necessary, but they were used and tended to create a build up of localised ice ! It looked like un skied powder until you hit it.
Up the mountain the artificial stuff was being use to make sure busy parts didn't get worn

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Matthew Way,
Not an expert on snow making, but an ESF instructor told me that the snow produced is humid (higher water content) which tended to make it icier or hard packed. He showed me that when you poked this saturated snow with your pole, the hole made was a vivid sky blue colour......
.....I'll believe anything I'm told

It was snow-cannon snow that did for my knee at Christmas. Watch out for it!
