Snow making apparatus

A system for producing artificial snow comprising

• a first source of compressed air;
• a second source of pressurized water;
• one or more snow making devices located at positions remote from said first and second sources;
• means for supplying compressed air from said first source to said one or more snow making devices;
• means for supplying pressurized water from said second source to said one or more snow making devices;
• each of said snow making devices including
• means responsive to said compressed air for moving air external to said device through said device from an input to an output thereof, said external air being at ambient temperature and pressure, and said air moving means further having exhaust air produced therefrom;
• means responsive to said compressed air and to said pressurized water for forming a mixture of said compressed air and said pressurized water;
• first means responsive to said mixture and to said exhaust air for combining said exhaust air and said mixture to form a combined stream thereof;
• second means for further combining said stream with said external air moving through said device, the combination of said stream and said external air exiting from said device at said location thereof;
• and
• means responsive to said pressurized water from said second source for producing a spray of said pressurized water external to said device at said output thereof and for directing said spray into contact with the combination of said stream and said external air exiting from said device at said output to produce artificial snow.
