Nitrogen turns into snow for X-Games Superpipe and Big Air

The Swedish freestyler  Henrik Harlaut won the Big Air gold medal in  X-Games in Oslo, skiing on snow made of gas from AGA. It was the third X-Games gold medal for Henrik.

To build the super pipe and the kicks for the Big Air competition, and to support with the required amount of snow during whole the X-Games competition, 400 ton of liquid nitrogen was used. 10 tons of liquid nitrogen per hour was pushed from the gas trucks into the snow machine. Check out the video explaining how liquid nitrogen turned into snow for X-Games.
