The lines in the snow on ski slopes, particularly downhill which are so steep, are precise, neat and don't disappear when the snow melts in the sun. How are they put there and how do they stay there?

You mean the blue stuff? That's chalk. If you mean the thin grooves in the snow, they have a huge machine called a snowcat which goes over the whole track and grooms it like that.

That is easy it is merely a can of spray! It obviously does disappear and they have to redo it. Ski programmes do not find it merits the time thinking about it so we are never told.

well its spelled slalom and the lines could be alot of things.. we used Hawaiian punch at our state meet!!:) and it changes the color of the snow so it stays there. and sometimes you do have to reapply it but you probably dont see that because they have people that do reapply it whenever it starts fading.

It's been awhile since I raced, but we used to use blue-colored water. Of course, it could be food coloring, or maybe chalk mixed in with water.

It is just a water based spray, it normally contains bio degradable coloring.
