snow machine

Artificial powder generator

A snow machine is a device that produces artificial snow, either for ski slopes to supplement natural snowfall or for theatrical and decorative effects at events and film productions.

In Alaska and parts of Canada, snow machine is the standard term for what most Americans call a snowmobile—a motorized vehicle for traveling over snow.
