BR02-13 Snow Magic!

“If it’s too warm for the snow to stay in the ground, he has a big problem!” (p.4)

The city of Minneapolis is one the clodest places in the United States. Winter there usually lasts a very long time However, even in winter the area sometimes has warmer weather, and that means less snow. There is no snow in Kumamoto. So when I found the book, I was surprised. And it is strange for me to be together the sun and the snow in picture. Most people really like this warm weather, I like warmer than snow too. But it is too warm for the snow to stay on the ground, there is a big problem.

Why does Raedeke need snow? He owns the wild mountain Ski Area in Taylors Falls, Minnesota. And snow has always been a very important part of Raedeke’s life. Have you ever seen the mechanical engineering? He studied of making machines and systems. Snowmaking is kind of a science, but it is also an art. In the page, I can watch the picture of snowmaking. It is fun for me. There are good things about both real and manmade snow. Real snow is drier, softer, and of better than quality for skiing. Raedeke then talks about the building that houses the pumps for making snow. I can learn some special device in the book.
