Abstract

A portable snow making tower having a base frame with spaced parallel skids for sliding engagement over a ground surface and a tow tongue for towing the base frame behind a motor vehicle. The portable snow making tower includes an upwardly extending snow making tower secured to the base frame and having snow making nozzles at its upper end for ejecting atomized water spray into ambient atmosphere for manufacture of snow in sub-freezing conditions, and water and air connectors at the lower end of tower for connection to supplies of air and water under pressure. A tower support arm is provided which has a bottom end received for axial rotation in an upright tower support pipe section secured to the base frame and the support arm has an inclined top end secured to the tower for supporting the tower in an inclined upright manner from the base frame. The tower may thus be rotated 360° in order to easily change direction of the snow making nozzles for changing wind conditions. The upright support pipe section is pivotally secured to the base frame for rotation from substantially vertical to substantially horizontal for adjustably lowering and raising the tower.
