A snowmobile is a motorized vehicle designed for winter travel on snow, typically with skis in the front and a caterpillar track in the back. A snow machine, on the other hand, can refer to any equipment that generates snow artificially, such as a snow cannon used in ski resorts.
Snow cone machines have been around for a long time. In 1919, at the Dallas State Fair, an inventor named Samuel Bert sold hand-shaved, syrup-flavored ice in cones. It was such a big hit during the fair that, a year later, he started selling snow cone machines nationwide until he died in 1984. Another man, Ernest Hansen, liked the concept of snow cones, but felt the texture of the ice was too coarse. He experimented with his own version, and patented the first ice block shaver in New Orleans in 1934. This machine made a shaved ice treat that he called a snowball, which had a lighter and fluffier texture like snow. Hansen also started marketing his machine, and modern versions are still used in commercial settings today. Ice shaving machines and snow cone makers can be found in stadiums, coliseums, and parks; on ice cream trucks and peddler carts; and many dessert restaurants have them, as well. But desserts similar to snow cones have been popular for a long time, even before Hansen’s machine was invented. During the Roman Empire, snow was gathered from the mountains and brought into the city, where syrup was added for a delicious treat. Asians around the 19th century also enjoyed shaved ice desserts. When immigrants came from Japan to Hawaii, they brought their hand operated, ice shaving machines with them. These machines made a fluffy product like Hansen’s, which became very popular and were called Hawaiian Ices. Snow cone machines are simple to operate; ice goes into the hopper, it gets pushed through the blades, and comes out as shaved or crushed ice. Stronger pressure on the push handle makes a coarse ice, and lighter pressure makes a fine textured ice. They are so simple to operate that smaller, counter top snow cone makers are available from major appliance brands for personal use. They are even available as toys for children, including the famous Snoopy snow cone maker that originally came out in 1979. And because of the popularity of snow cones and snowballs, the snow cone machine will more than likely be available on the market for many more generations to enjoy.
