Ice and snow-free snow making tower structure

A snow making tower structure free from ice and snow buildup comprising:

• a substantially vertical support pole having a bottom end anchored in a ground surface, a support arm connected to said pole, snow making nozzle means secured to and supported from said support arm for elevating said nozzle means above ground, air and water supply conduit means adapted for conveying water and air under pressure to said nozzle means for discharge into ambient atmosphere through said nozzle means for manufacturing snow in subfreezing conditions, the improvement including said support arm comprised of heat conducting tubing adapted for connection to a remote water supply and connected to said water supply conduit means for conveying water under pressure to said nozzle means such that the water under pressure from said remote source travels first through said support arm tubing for warming said support arm to prevent ice and snow buildup thereon prior to said water being conveyed to said nozzle means through said conduit means, said support arm pivotally connected to said pole adjacent the upper end thereof for pivotal movement substantially from horizontal to vertical for elevating said nozzle means, said support arm tubing configured in the form of an elongated inverted U having two legs with top and bottom ends and an upper cross conduit connection between said legs at the upper ends, the bottom end of one leg adapted for connection to said remote water source and a water outlet on the other of said legs for supplying water to said conduit means.
