A snow making machine churns out artificial snow for a ski slope in Chongli county near Zhangjiakou in northern China's Hebei province on Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2020. The high demand for artificial snow at February's Beijing Winter Olympics will have a minimal effect on the local water supply, a spokesperson for the organizers said Thursday, Nov. 18, 2021.
