The modern method is a little more complex but similarly water-intensive, although exact numbers are a little sketchy. The American organisers simply fired droplets of water into the air which then fell as snow.
On that occasion, they moved snow and ice from other parts of the country and packed them in by hand using the army, but when a similar problem arose at Lake Placid 16 years later, there was a less labour-intensive method used, when there was plenty of cold but limited moisture. The snow itself is real frozen water and the idea of supplementing nature’s supply is not a new one: in Austria back in 1964, an unusually warm wind melted much of the snow in Innsbruck. The first thing to say is that this is not fake snow. ‘The next LeBron James could be in UK right now - but they’re never going to play basketball’ 06 April, 2023 Elite sport needs to take everyone at face value, says ex-hockey star 28 March, 2023 Orcs at the Olympics? ‘It feels like it’s heading that way,’ says esports expert 21 March, 2023
