ABSTRACT:
A snowmaker mounting structure is described useful for attaching a snowmaking apparatus used at ski resort areas to a ski lift tower. The structure includes a generally horizontally extending boom having one end attached to an upper portion of the ski lift tower and an extending end having a snowmaker attached thereto. Control over the region of ski slopes being covered with artifically produced snow is provided by rotatably mounting the snowmaker to the end of the boom by employing a generally vertically oriented collar through which a central tubular post is inserted and rotatable therein. The water supply is conducted to one end of the post and a pair of turning cables are connected to the post which, through tension being applied to either one of the cables, causes the snowmaker to be rotated with the collar. This invention eliminates the necessity of providing a separate snowmaker mounting tower.
