snowgun
Artificial flake sprayer
A snowgun is a machine that produces artificial snow by spraying water into cold air, where it freezes into ice crystals.
Ski resorts use snowguns to supplement natural snowfall or extend the skiing season: They fired up the snowguns when temperatures dropped below freezing.
Also called a snow cannon or snowmaker.
