ABSTRACT:
An adjustable snow making tower including a vertical support pole anchored into the ground and having a support pipe coaxially received over this support pole for support of a snow tower for axial horizontal rotation on the support pole. A support arm is pivotally connected intermediate its opposite ends adjacent the upper end of this support pipe for pivotal movement substantially from horizontal to vertical. An elongated pipe snow making tower having air and water discharge nozzles at its upper end and air and water supply connections at its lower end, is supported adjacent its lower end to this support arm for pivotal movement therewith in a vertical plane. A lock mechanism is provided for temporary locking the support arm in any preselected vertical position between horizontal and vertical and a drive mechanism is also provided to assist in vertically raising or lowering the snow pipe tower together with a support arm about the support arm pivot. The support arm may also be utilized to pick up and support a snow-gun above ground for more effective use in addition to or in substitution of the elongated pipe snow making tower.
