  • Chronology of Snowmaking Notes for 2001 Exhibit, New England Ski Museum by Jeff Leich
    Chronology of Snowmaking Notes for 2001 Exhibit, New England Ski Museum by Jeff Leich The following notes on snowmaking are intended to aid in the development of a Ski Museum exhibit. In many cases it is unclear from the sources referenced below exactly when a particular machine or practice was first invented or instituted. It is also probable that sources with data on certain early inventions were not located. It is therefore not possible to determine which machine or practice was "the first" of its kind; rather, this chronology is intended to indicate the general sequence of the development of snowmaking for skiing. 1934 "A novel experiment was attempted by the Toronto Ski Club 'Board of Strategy' when faced with the opening of their new jump with a major competition and no snow in sight. An excellent substitute for snow was provided in the form of shaved ice....made arrangements with the University of Toronto skating rink to have their ice planer work overtime...Several trucks were employed to haul the pulverized ice to the jump, a distance of about four miles...Seventy-five tons were cut and delivered within a few hours. This was sufficient to cover the entire hill from tower to outrun, with about six or eight inches on the landing slope....it was from ten to twenty percent faster than dry snow, as jumps made on that day were comparatively longer...the total cost of 'manufacturing' the snow was about $80, or approximately $1 per ton. This was for trucking alone as the cutting was done for free" (Hall, p.

  • Appendices Section
    APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.
