ABSTRACT:
A snow-making system having a relatively large number of remotely located snow-making devices supplied with compressed air and pressurized water from sources thereof at a generally centralized location. Each device includes a compressed air driven motor for driving impeller blades which move external air at ambient, below freezing, temperatures through the device. Each device further includes means for mixing compressed air and pressurized water which mixture is combined with exhaust air from the air motor, such combination thereupon being further combined with the external air, the latter combination thereupon exiting from one end of the device. The exiting combination comes into contact with a spray of pressurized water at a location external to the device which contact produces nucleated particles which fall to the ground as artifically produced snow. Each snow-making device can operate generally at ambient temperatures as low as about 26.degree.F and each is sufficiently mobile to permit it to be moved relatively easily from one ski slope location to another, even where such slopes are relatively steep.
