Ski Resort Introduction & Safety Details
Little Ding-Dong Ski Resort was constructed in 2012 as Taiwan’s first indoor ski resort. The ski resort covers an area of 750 ping, it’s 60 meters in length, 30 meters wide, and has an incline of 14 degrees. Average indoor temperature is negative 3-7 degrees. The resort contains skiing, snowboarding, family play areas, and cute ice sculptures. It is Taiwan’s only ski resort that snows all year-round, making skiing in Taiwan a dream come true.

How is artificial snow created?
The snow blower is the machine that produces artificial snow. Classic snow blowers work by mixing chilled water with compressed air to form droplets through the reaction with the air stream. In ski resorts, snow blowers have 2 tubes, one connected to a water reservoir and another to an air compressor.
Air compressors have 3 functions:
- Separate the water, in other words, separate water flow into droplets.
- blow water droplets into the air
- While the droplets are in the air, stimulate their cooling.
How does compressed air achieve cooling? Actually, it is an additional effect of compressed air. We know that when air is compressed the movement of molecules is heavily restricted into a smaller area. When compressed air is released, this eliminates the restrictions on air molecules that are dispersed over a larger area to freely move; during this process, air molecules must absorb large amounts of energy and greatly reduces the temperature of surrounding areas.
Another type of snow blowers is the direct injection models; in other words, compressed air is not necessary. This is similar to spray cans used to water flowers. When water passes the spout, the vaporization effect forms them into delicate droplets that are blown into the air with a fan. The advantage is not needing troublesome air compression devices, as it works by providing water and a powering device.
The process of liquid water solidifying into a solid is more difficult and requires immense cold and good nucleation conditions to release heat from water’s solidification. This requires harsher natural conditions; therefore, snow blowers often have an area specifically for cooling so that when external environments don’t satisfy the requirements to create snow, it stimulates the water’s solidification process so that they may appropriately cool before arriving on the ground to simulate natural snow conditions.
