snowmaker

Artificial flurry producer

A snowmaker is a machine that produces artificial snow, typically used at ski resorts to supplement natural snowfall or extend the skiing season.

These devices work by spraying fine water droplets into cold air, where they freeze into snow-like crystals.

The term can also refer to a person who operates such equipment.

In meteorological slang, snowmaker sometimes describes a weather system likely to produce significant snowfall: There's a real snowmaker heading our way this weekend.
