ABSTRACT:
An adjustable snow making tower structure which includes a device for warming the tower structure for preventing ice and snow buildup and for precooling the water before it is supplied to the tower for manufacturing snow. The snow making tower is usually an elongated pipe configuration which is secured at its lower end to the support arm, and the snow making nozzles are provided at the upper end of the pipe tower. The support arm is utilized for raising and lowering the pipe tower between horizontal to vertical. The support arm is made of heat conducting tubing and is connected to a remote water supply and is connected for conveying water under pressure through the tubing of the support arm to the bottom end of the pipe tower. Accordingly the water being conveyed through the support arm warms the support arm and is precooled prior to being conveyed to the snow making nozzles at the top of the tower to provide better quality snow with greater efficiency. During operation, the support arm remains snow and ice-free due to the warming effects of the water passing therethrough.
