snow gun
Artificial powder machine
A snow gun is a machine that sprays water into cold air to create artificial snow, used at ski resorts when natural snowfall is insufficient.
Also called a snow cannon or snowmaker.
The devices work by atomizing water into fine droplets that freeze as they fall: The resort fired up the snow guns overnight to cover the trails.
