Tahoe Silicon Mountain: The Physics of Snow, Presented by Benny Bach

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Benny Bach to present: “The Physics of Snow.” 

Whether driving in it, shoveling it or skiing/riding it, we all recognize there are many different types of snow.

Benny Bach, Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Labs at University of Nevada, Reno, will talk to us about snow formation, snow crystals, the different types and qualities of snow and how those characteristics are influenced by temperature, wind, humidity and more.

Did you know the ice crystals in snow aren’t really white? Learn about snow phenomena and find out how the different types of snow (including man-made) affect your skiing and riding.
