ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for making and depositing artificial snow in which there is to be provided about a unidirectional, high volume movement of air at atmospheric pressure, coaxially therewith, a first plurality of nozzles each providing a high-velocity water spray directed at a first angle into the high volume air movement, and a second plurality of nozzles each spaced radially outwardly from a corresponding water nozzle and each providing a flat stream of compressed air directed into the high volume air movement at a second angle with respect thereto. The compressed air stream intersects the water spray at a point remote from the respective nozzles, preferably at the outer boundary of the high volume air movement. The flow from each water and compressed air nozzle is individually adjustable. Seeding means, including an adjustable duck-bill nozzle, may be provided to inject seed crystals into the high volume movement.
