Claims
- 1. In an improved system for making artificial snow said system comprising a snow gun, means for providing air to said snow gun, means for providing snow gun water from source water to said snow gun in adjustable amount combination with said compressed air, said improvement comprising:
- means for mixing a predetermined quantity of small particles of a material, wherein said small particles are microcrystalline cellulose particles, said small particles having an average particulate size of greater than 1.0 micron to about 30.0 microns, in with mix water creating thereby a concentrate; and
- means for introducing said concentrate into said source water providing thereby enhanced snow gun water.
- 2. The improved system for making artificial snow according to claim 1 further comprising means for regulating said predetermined quantity of microcrystalline cellulose particles of material in an amount to substantially maximize said making of artificial snow.
- 3. In an improved method for making artificial snow said method comprising providing a snow gun, providing pressure regulated compressed air to said snow gun, providing snow gun water from source water to said snow gun in adjustable amount combination with said pressure regulated compressed air, said improved method comprising:
- mixing a predetermined quantity of small particles of a material, wherein said small particles are microcrystalline cellulose particles, said small particles having an average particulate size of greater than 1.0 micron to about 30.0 microns, in with mix water creating thereby a concentrate; and
- introducing said concentrate into said source water providing thereby enhanced snow gun water.
- 4. The improved method for making artificial snow according to claim 3 further comprising regulating said predetermined quantity of microcrystalline cellulose particles of material in an amount to substantially maximize making of artificial snow.
- 5. Enhanced snow gun water for distribution to snow-making guns, said enhanced snow gun water comprising:
- a predetermined quantity of small particles of a material, wherein said small particles are microcrystalline cellulose particles said small particles having an average particulate size of greater than 1.0 micron to about 30.0 microns, intermixed with mix water creating thereby a concentrate; and introducing said concentrate into source water
- providing thereby enhanced snow gun water.
- 6. The enhanced snow gun water for distribution to snow-making guns according to claim 5 further comprising means for regulating said predetermined quantity of microcrystalline cellulose particles of material in an amount to substantially maximize making of artificial snow.
