To provide an artificial snow production method and a product for carrying out the method.SOLUTION: The present invention relates a snow production method comprising: blending nucleating agent particles into water; and spraying the water containing the nucleating agent particles onto a surface or atmosphere having a temperature of less than 0°C by means of a device for producing snow or ice. According to the present invention, the nucleating agent particles are silicate particles having a unit sphere equivalent diameter of less than 15 μm, preferably less than 5 μm. The present invention also relates to a powder product for carrying out the method.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】 人工雪の製造方法及び方法を実施するための製品を提供する。【解決手段】 本発明は、核化剤粒子を水の中に配合することと、前記核化剤粒子を含有する前記水を、雪又は氷を製造するための装置によって温度が０℃未満の表面上又は雰囲気中に噴霧することとを含む、雪の製造方法に関する。本発明によれば、前記核形成剤粒子は、単位球相当径が１５μｍ未満、好ましくは５μｍ未満のケイ酸塩粒子である。本発明は、方法を実施するための粉末製品にも関する。【選択図】図１
