Abstract (en)

A device and method for the production of artificial snow, the device (Fig. 1) comprising an environment (3) wherein the temperature, humidity and/or other environmental conditions are adapted to be controlled, the device also having at least one snow gun (10) having at least the nozzle portion thereof provided substantially within or adjacent to the environment (3). Within the environment (3) the humidity and temperature may be controlled by a dehumidifier (8) and a cooler or chiller (7), such that the conditions within the environment (3) are satisfactory for snow production. Alternatively, the mini controlled environment may be provided wherein the nozzle or the environment adjacent the nozzle (16) (Fig. 3) is controlled to be of desired temperature and humidity. <IMAGE>
