ABSTRACT:
The snow making tower of the present invention includes a vertical ground support pole having its bottom end anchored in the ground surface on a ski slope and a tower support sleeve is coaxially received over the upper end of this ground support pole for free axial rotation on the support pole. An elongated pipe snow making tower with snow making nozzles adjacent its upper end and water and air inlets at its lower end is secured adjacent its lower end to the tower support sleeve at a vertical incline. The elongated pipe tower, together with the support sleeve, are permitted to freely coaxially rotate on the ground support pole. A vertical wind vane is secured to the tower for turning the tower with the tower support sleeve on the ground support pole with prevailing ambient wind applied to the wind vane so that the vertical incline of the tower always points down wind.
