Kargil, Jan 02: The Ladakh Ski and Snowboard Association has developed an artificial snow-making machine in Kargil in the Union Territory of Ladakh marking a pivotal moment for the region’s winter sports and tourism sectors.
This innovative machine, engineered by Sadiq Ali and his team, is a response to the increasingly erratic snowfall patterns in Ladakh, which have threatened its winter economy.
The machine, crafted using accessible components such as compressors and spray nozzles, can generate one inch of snow over a 15×5 feet area in just an hour. This efficiency is expected to revolutionize snow sports by maintaining skiing tracks and providing consistent snow cover for training and competitions.
However, its utility extends beyond sports. Speaking about the broader impact, Sadiq Ali explained how the technology could be adapted for snow harvesting—collecting and storing snow for irrigation and water management purposes. This dual functionality offers a sustainable solution to water scarcity, a pressing concern in Ladakh’s arid climate.
According to the Sadiq Ali the timing of this innovation is crucial. With winter tourism in Ladakh gaining traction, consistent snow coverage can attract more visitors, boosting the local economy. The association has emphasized the machine’s cost-effectiveness and scalability, revealing plans for fully automated, portable snow-making systems that could cater to various terrains and needs.
The Ladakh Ski and Snowboard Association has urged the administration, including the Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh to invest in this technology. They believe it could position Ladakh as a global hub for winter sports, creating jobs, stimulating economic growth, and enhancing the region’s resilience to climate change.
Kargil often faces unique challenges compared to the Kashmir Valley. While the Valley frequently witnesses abundant snowfall, Kargil experiences relatively limited snow accumulation despite its sub-zero temperatures.
