I've seen this stuff called instanow, and I saw a huge potential for summer pow skiing, if only it will work. you guys think its possible to make a big angled hill and ski on this stuff?

I wonder if there's any temperature change with the reaction. Also, does it eventually "melt"?

All that they do is absorb water, and they can stay in their "snow" state for a couple hours, until they dry out and are filled with water again. You could put a type of sprinkler system on the edges to keep them "snowy" and it would work with out replacing the snow as long as you don't spill to much out the sides

you would need a lot of coverage for that stuff to work.

I just looked at a review of some insta snow they have the opposite opinion of you

"The 'snow' feels very interesting. It is damp, but soft and fluffy"
