Denver. Though you might never leave.

Answer 2

The Snowmaking Process

Snowmaking is pretty simple in theory, water from a hose is sprayed through a nozzle made up of very fine holes into the air and freezes. Snow. Well why can't I just do the same using my garden hose in the backyard, some might wonder. The simple answer to that is pressure and air. And here is where the art of snowmaking begins.

By carefully monitoring and controlling the balance of compressed air and water that mix at each snowgun, snowmakers are able not only to keep snow coming out of our guns (as opposed to water or ice which is what your backyard experiment would yield), but even to control the consistency of the snow. By adjusting the percentages of water and air being fed into the snow guns, snowmakers can make heavier snow if they are building a base or lighter snow if they are resurfacing. Water and air, by the way, are all that goes into the guns and into our snow: Mount Snow does not add any chemicals or additives of any kind (except maybe around St. Patrick's Day!).

The next question that people usually ask is why we don't start making snow as soon as the temperature drops below freezing. The answer to this is humidity. When snowmakers talk temperatures they talk about wet bulb temperature. This is a way of measuring air temperature with humidity factored in as this effects what the blown snow will do once it leaves the gun. For optimal snowmaking, a cold temperature isn't necessarily enough, the wet bulb temperature must also cooperate.

While sometimes we do take advantage of favorable weather to make snow during the day, most snowmaking is done at night. Not only can our snowmakers move quicker and be more efficient, but the snow that is made has a chance to dry out making for a better surface in the morning. And it is the morning that we are all about. When you take that first run of the day on snow that has been made and groomed the previous night and hit the bottom with a big grin on your face, we know we got it right.

Switzerland Russia

Answer 4

Utah mountains are quite snowy. With all the crazy weather conditions in the past years, it will be difficult to orchestrate your plans. Check long-term weather forcasts and even the Farmer's Almanac. Your safest bet would be to head for those winter sports areas since those industries count on snow for their profits and thus are built in areas that receive the most snow.

Answer 7

Siberia sounds like a sure thing. Remember to take along some arctic survival gear.

Hey no shots on Denver. This is reportedly the first time in 10 years it has been a white x-mas, but good lord when it does! I'm still digging myself out, & there's more to come.

Answer 8

Any Colorado ski resort above 8000 ft. will do: Breckenridge, Vail, Aspen, Snowmass, Winterpark, Arapahoe Basin. Or pick any mountain town for that matter.
