How to judge the quality of snow

According to some statistics, there are more than 60 kinds of snow in nature, such as powdery snow, flake snow, shell snow, slurry snow, granular snow, muddy snow, ice snow, etc., and artificial snowmaking mainly includes compacted powdery snow, etc., totaling more than 60 kinds. Since each type of snow has a different experience for skiers under the skis, the techniques used for each type of snow are different. In China, because most ski resorts are built inland, they are not affected by the marine monsoon, the air is dry, cold, and windy, and the forms of snow are mostly granular snow, shell snow, ice snow, powdery snow, and pulp snow.

The snow quality of domestic ski resorts is mainly the snow track snow formed by mixing and compacting the above-mentioned snow quality. In the early morning, the snow is hard, in the form of ice-like snow, with a thin layer of hard ice crust on the surface, and the friction between this snowy surface and the skis is very small, and the skiing speed is very fast, and the edge of the skis is very sufficient, and the skier must have a certain skiing technique.

After ten o'clock, the surface of the snow is slowly sunburned and the snow becomes softer, which feels the best for skiers, not soft or hard, and comfortable to ride.

In the afternoon, under the sunlight and the constant turning of the skis, the humidity increases, the snow is sticky, and the friction increases, and it is easier for beginners to control the skis on this snow, and the skiers with good skills can wax on the underside of the skis to reduce the friction resistance in the ski.

As the evening approaches, the sunlight weakens, the temperature drops, and the moisture in the snow begins to crystallize, and the snow gradually hardens, but not yet to the level of icy snow, much like compacted powdery snow, with less friction and faster gliding.

If you don't use a snow machine to compaction after a new snowfall, a layer of hard crust will be formed on the surface of the snow after a few days, and skiing on this snow requires skiers to have a large forward impulse to break through this layer of snow shell and slide, and this snow quality is generally on the higher and steeper ski slopes that cannot be reached by the ski machine, so skiers are required to have a high level of skill. But once you've mastered the art of navigating this high, steep snow with a lot of forward momentum, it's a real pleasure to watch the shattered crusts of snow flutter through the air.

In general, the weather conditions vary depending on the weather conditions during and after the snowfall, so the quality of the snow varies from one to the other. Snow in nature includes powdery snow, flake snow, rain and snow, fragile snow, shell snow, pulp snow, granular snow, muddy snow, ice snow, etc. There are 60 types of artificially created snow, including compacted powdery snow and snow slope snow.

In the early morning, the snow takes on the form of ice-like snow, with a thin layer of hard ice on the surface, and the friction between this snowy surface and the skis is very small, the skis do not need to be waxed, the skiing speed is fast, and the skier needs to have a certain skiing technique.

After 10 a.m., as the temperature rises and the sun shines, the surface of the snow slowly melts and takes on the form of powdery snow, which is the best for skiers, and it is not soft or hard, and it is comfortable to ski.

In the afternoon, under the sunlight and the constant turning of the snowboards, the snow is in the form of pulpy snow, and the snow texture is sticky and the friction increases, making it easier for beginners to control the snowboard. Skiers with good technique can wax the underside of their skis to reduce resistance.

After a new snowfall, if it is not stirred and compacted by a ski machine, a hard crust will form on the surface of the snow after a few days. Skiing on this type of snow requires a large forward momentum to break through the snow layer. This type of snow is usually on higher, steeper runs, which are inaccessible to the machine, so skiers need to be highly skilled to ski on such high, steep snow surfaces that require a lot of forward momentum.
