During the summer, outfit hundreds, no, thousands of
cylinders arranged around the side of a mountain that
are
connected by a massive air compressor system. These
cylinders can be remotely opened to blast snow that falls
on them high into the air. They're also
equipped with bright colored
lights.
Once the maintain is covered with snow, everybody at
the
resort grabs a hot toddy and watches the night time
"Snow
Explosion Spectacular".
These pneumatic mortar tubes are triggered
and the bright light inside are illuminated causing a
massive
column
of snow blasts into the air lit by the colored spotlight
which fades as the snow falls to the ground.
It's basically snow fireworks. You'd outfit a mountain at a
ski resort that's unsuitable for skiing and covered with
snow but not situated such that there's any danger of
avalanche.
Correction: Plus there's the danger of avalanches.

This proposal seems to lack the essential frisson of imminent death that would make it worthwhile. |
|
|
Also, complete lack of reckless and dangerously inadvisable employment of high explosives. |

No bun, pending the necessary "improvements". |

Safety first - wear bike clips to avoid groinal
freezing. |

Done. I like it better with avalanches anyway. |
