SNOW SUBDIVISION DEVICE AND SNOWFALL DEVICE
A snow subdivision device includes: a receiving member having a receiving surface that receives snow collectively dropping from a snow growth mechanism; and a transmission portion that changes a posture of the receiving member so as to change an inclination of the receiving surface by receiving an external force. The receiving member drops snow on the receiving surface part by part while temporally shifting the dropping by changing the inclination of the receiving surface, so that the snow falls to a subject area. In the receiving member, the receiving surface can be alternately inclined in both directions so that the snow on the receiving surface drops from both sides of the receiving surface.
Snowflake machine
A snowflake machine (10) comprises a blower (84) and an outlet device (72) is connected to the blower (84). The outlet device (72) includes a primary passageway (80) and a secondary passageway (82) around the primary passageway (80). The blower (84) operates to generate air currents which drives bubbles to pass through the primary passageway (80), thereby pushing the bubbles into the air. Air currents passing through the secondary passageway (82) to push the bubbles farther away from the outlet device (72).

SNOW SHOWER
A snow shower is provided with a shower area, a snow machine and a chute. The snow machine has a first connection to the chute, and the chute is directed towards the shower area, such that the snow machine produces snowflakes that enter the chute through the first connection and exit the chute to fall onto the shower area. A cold nebulizer produces water mist with a temperature below 15 C., including but not limited to below 10 C., further including but not limited to between 2 C. and 8 C. The cold nebulizer produces the water mist so that it falls onto the shower area.

SKI RESORT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A ski resort management system comprising: a data acquisition system that receives data from telemetry systems of the lift systems, of the snow generators and of the snow groomers of the ski resort; a processing station; mass storage units, containing a system database fed by the data acquisition system; and a display interface, accessible from operator terminals. The data acquisition system stores data and signals from the lift systems, the snow generators and the snow groomers in the system database. The processing station enables setting a mode of the display interface for alternatively displaying data relative to each lift system, to each snow generator or to each snow groomer, or to display, in an aggregated form, data relative to all the lift systems, all the snow generators and all the snow groomers.
