skidude Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I had to do a little research project in my technology class, I found this about snowmaking, Thought you peeps might be interested To cover several ski trails with manmade snow, you need a lot of water. According to SMI Snow Makers, it takes about 75,000 gallons (285,000 liters) of water to create a 6-inch blanket of snow covering a 200x200-foot area (61x61 meters). The system in a good-sized ski slope can convert 5,000 to 10,000 gallons (18,927 to 37,854 liters) of water to snow every minute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
