Advantages of snowmaking on the vegetation

The effects of snowmaking on vegetation, thanks to the insulating effects, keep the temperature - at the soil - close to zero.

The artificial snow produced earlier in the season - so before the autumn-winter frosts - prevents freezing of the soil.

The artificial snow support conservation and germination of seed, while the young trees is being protected from scouring, abrasive effect of the wind, frost and the mechanical action of the ski edges and snowcats.

The presence of a more continuous mantle of snow represent, in essence, a positive factor for the vegetation as if on one hand prolongs the period of vegetative rest, on the other, mitigates the harsh winter at the level of the the surface and within the soil.
