Oscillating snow making tower

A snow making apparatus including a vertical ground support pole having bottom and upper ends with said bottom end anchored in a ground surface, a tower support sleeve coaxially received over the upper end of said ground support pole for axial rotation thereon, and an elongated pipe snow making tower having upper and lower ends with snow making nozzles adjacent the upper end and water and air inlets at the lower end thereof for connection to respective supplies of water and air under pressure from remote sources for ejection through said nozzles to manufacture snow in subfreezing ambient conditions, said tower secured adjacent its lower end to the upper end of said tower support sleeve at a vertical incline for axial rotation of said tower on said ground support pole;

• the improvement comprising an oscillating fluid drive secured to said tower for oscillating said tower on said ground support pole back and forth between preset limits, said fluid drive powered by said water or air supplied under pressure.
