When and where was artificial snow for skiing introduced?
Answer
Who made the first artificial snow is unclear. It may have been made around the same time in different places. One claim is that three engineers used a garden hose, a 10-horsepower compressor, and a spray-gun nozzle to make a 20-inch-deep, 20-foot-wide pile of snow at a ski factory in Milford, Connecticut, in March 1950.
