A snowmaking head descends the mountain like a giant dot-
matrix printer head, "printing" (more snow here, less there)
any 3D terrain desired. (With RGB colors added like
"snowcones")
All weekend, novelty seekers enjoy the new, unreal terrain,
& your competitors die while you bask in profits.
And, you'd get to run A/B tests, seeing which type of
terrains
get the most traffic, & make more of those.
And, you can crowdsource designs for part/all of the
mountain to drive social engagement, sponsorships, or
special events.

And when its work was done it could play, hiding itself wherever it could find cover, and setting itself up as a kind of machine gun nest. Skiers would get a great laugh out of being mowed down just as they prepared to pass through some tricky moguls. |

skoom: great addition! Yes, the same hardware
could be hunting you or dynamically printing while
you ski/snowboard |

err... this is how they do it on the slopes, except the snow is placed parabolically rather than dropping vertically. |

@FT: True, but not really at all. Having true 3D
control & color is far beyond current methods
employed. |

Sounds like something they'd do in Dubai. |

Now, if only you could get this to work on a much smaller scale, in for example, just off the top of my head, a small spherical container. |

Possibly substituting another material for snow as that's tricky at room temperature, a material slightly denser than the liquid in there.. |
