A snow making tower which includes an elongated tower pipe mounted on a support with a first water discharge nozzle adjacent the upper end of the tower pipe. A water connection is provided at the lower end of the tower for connection of a source of water under pressure to supply the water under pressure to the first water nozzle at the upper end of the tower. An air conduit coextends within the tower pipe with the bottom end of the air conduit extending externally of the pipe tower for connection to a remote source of air under pressure. The top end of the air conduit terminates within or inside the tower pipe adjacent the upper end where the air and water are then intermixed adjacent the water nozzle and then ejected through the water nozzle. An air nozzle may also be provided at the upper end of the tower for ejecting a stream of air into the ambient atmosphere under pressure into the throat of an air/water spray from the water nozzle or nozzles to further atomize the water spray. A second water discharge nozzle is positioned adjacent the first water nozzle. The second water nozzle is provided with a separate conduit connection for independently suppling water under pressure to the second water nozzle for discharge into the ambient atmosphere. The water supply to this second nozzle is regulated with a valve and the second water nozzle is replaceable with nozzles of different aperture size for permitting adjustment for producing maximum quality snow under different ambient subfreezing conditions.
