Did You Know? Snow Now Made In Israel
An Austrian ski resort has found an unlikely source of early season snow: Israel. Using technology originally developed to desalinate sea water, the All Weather Snowmaker, from Israeli engineering firm IDE Technologies, is six times as powerful as a traditional snow cannon and produces flakes regardless of temperature, humidity and wind. The St-Leonhard im Pitztal ski resort in Austria started using the system in late August, increasing its ski area threefold by mid-September. Find out more in this AFP story.
