Leisure

Indoor or outdoor ski slopes. 

• Whatever the weather, Geneglace ice machines can produce snow! Ski resorts can thus be opened longer, reaching 5 to 6 months per year. The snow produced also allows snow cover on low altitude slopes.

Global warming has incited ski resorts to use flake ice as ”artificial snow” to make-up for overly random natural snow cover. The technique consists in producing dry and highly fragmented flake ice and spraying it in the form of tiny crystals onto the ski slopes to form the snow pack. 

Unlike conventional techniques, it allows the use of snow guns when the outside temperature is above freezing. Many resorts have opted for this solution and they can schedule their opening and closing dates without fearing insufficient snow.
