That's not snow, it's Crushed Ice. My kitchen freezer ice dispenser
can make that stuff.

But can it make enough to ski on? And do you have a hill to put it on?

(at this point I'll take almost anything...)

Sure, but it might not be ready until about late fall of 2010 though.

And do you have a hill to put it on?

Evidently yes, directly east of BYU.

Tenney has that system. They were actually open the 4th of July to
make a 'statement'. I wasn't there, but I heard it was $20 for 2 hours,
and all they had was a few spots in a terrain park.

But from what I've heard, they've been open for over a month now with
skiing. Don't know anything about it. I suggest you check out their web
site.

You may get more answers when you actually ask a question.

Guessing at what you want:

See Tenney Mountain in New Hampshi
http://www.tenneymtn.com

Which uses the new SnowMagic system to make snow at summer
temperatures.

Happy trails,
