Zusammenfassung:A snow composition is provided which comprises about 100 parts by weight of snow selected from the group consisting of natural snow, artificial snow made by a snow machine, and icy snow made by shattering ice blocks into fragments, and 0.1 to 10.0 parts by weight of a super absorbent polymer in granule form having an average particle size of 20 to 500 .mu.m before water absorption. A method for making snow compositions also is disclosed. The snow compositions are superior to those known, and provide improved surfaces for skiing, snowboarding and the like.
