ReNewSnow Makes Fresh Snow from Recycled Snowmelt (January 6 to 8, 2023)

The video shows excerpts from a test run of our prototype snowmelt recycling system, operating between January 6 and 8, 2023.  The system operated for over 10 hours, making snow by recycling snowmelt running down a drainage ditch next to Saddleback's Green Weaver trail.

 

To our knowledge, this is the first time a ski area has been able to make fresh snow from recycled snowmelt anywhere in the world. By eliminating the need to pump water up from Saddleback Lake, the ReNewSnow recycling system would lower snow making costs by more than 80% and dramatically reduce its environmental footprint. Ski areas that purchase water to make snow would save even more, since recycling would cut net water usage by more than 50%.
