Home > All About Snow > All Types of Snow Explained
The fake snow you see in movies and on television and the artificial snow used on ski slopes create some common assumptions about what artificial snow is, and we would like to clarify that for you and explain how and where to buy instant snow for your event.

REAL SNOW MACHINES are only used on ski slopes and these machines only work below 20 degrees, are very expensive and cannot be rented anywhere.

FOR GROUND SNOW most people, and most professionals in film and television, use our Instant Fake Snow Decorations...NO MACHINE REQUIRED. See information below.

FOR FALLING SNOW we sell a wonderful Artificial Snowfall Machine that produces the same snowfall used in film and television, but this snow evaporates as soon as it lands and does not leave any snow to play in. For ground snow to play in or for decoration you have to use Instant Snow powder, which does not use a machine...just add water!

DRY SNOW comes in 2 forms, a SNOW BLANKET of roll out snow, and WHITE PLASTIC SNOWFLAKES. You will find them on the Instant Snow page if you prefer this less realistic but easy to use snow. Check out our White Plastic Snow here!

What is called "Real snow" is shaved ice that is very expensive and icy cold, so kids will get very cold and wet and need to change clothes after a short time. We do not provide this and you will have to look for a local ice or event company if this is what you want.
