ABSTRACT:
A portable snow making tower including an elongated metallic water pipe or conduit having a first discharge nozzle adjacent the upper edge thereof and an air supply conduit extending substantially coextensive with and secured with the water conduit. The air conduit is provided with an air discharge orifice adjacent the upper end thereof which is positioned such that the orifice discharge air therefrom under pressure in the form of a jet stream which is directed into the water discharged from the water nozzle to form a plume of atomized water at the top of the tower for making snow. The water conduit and air conduit are positioned at an incline and supported intermediate their upper and lower ends by two legs pivotally attached to the water conduit at the upper ends of the legs, and with the bottom ends of the legs spread thereby forming a tripod configuration which may be collapsed by pivoting the legs inwardly toward the water conduit. At least one of these legs are adjustable in length to permit extension thereof to accommodate sloping ground surfaces and the bottom of the two legs are adapted for sliding along a ground surface when the tower is being towed by the bottom end of the water conduit.
