The present disclosure discloses a method for making an ice surface of an ice rink and an ice rink including the ice surface. In the method, a salt solution is applied to an ice surface. The salt solution contains anions. A concentration of the anions is in a range from about 0.63 mmol/L to about 10 mmol/L. The anions in the salt solution are selected from the group consisting of chloride ions, nitrate ions, bromide ions, iodide ions, chlorate ions, perchlorate ions, thiocyanate ions, and any combination thereof. The ice surface is maintained at a temperature of about −4° C. to about 14° C. to naturally freeze the salt solution.

A method for containing wind-driven snow, sleet, ice and other particulate to prevent it from drifting on paths of travel and becoming airborne, obscuring visibility, and drifting. Method involves the application of liquid, slurry, foam, gel, powder, or heat to a desired treatment area with a field of snow in a diffuse pattern. The applied treatment prevents the movement of the loose precipitation either by mixing with the precipitation and freezing to form a crust or alternatively by creating a liquid or semi-liquid slush that is not easily displaced by high winds.

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.

A system and method for the construction of a hemp mat having consistent density whereby the hemp fiber mat may be used to strengthen ice or other entities for any number of applications and different types of construction designed such that it may be sturdy enough to stay bonded when it is transported, unrolled, and soaked during ice road construction but loose enough to break apart during spring to reduce blockage and environmental damage to the waterway on which the ice road was constructed.
