ABSTRACT:
In a method and machine for making artificial snow of the type which includes a blower for providing a substantially unidirectional high-volume air stream and a plurality of nozzles for directing water spray into the air stream, the improvement wherein the water nozzles are grouped in an arcuate array entirely above the centerline of the air stream, and wherein a deflector is disposed in the air stream to direct a lower portion of the air stream upwardly toward the nozzles. A seeder nozzle is disposed in the "shadow" of the deflector and directs a water/air mixture upwardly at an angle into the air stream to form seed crystals.
