Claim:
A snow making apparatus comprising: independent and co-extending air and first water conduits having upper and lower ends and having a ground support mount; at least one air external discharge nozzle and a first water external discharge nozzle respectively connected to the upper ends of said conduits for producing a plume of atomized water from external interacting air and water discharge under pressure from said at least one air and first water discharge nozzles to produce snow in sub-freezing ambient conditions; a second water conduit independent of said first water conduit having upper and lower ends and co-extending with said air and first water conduits; a second water discharge nozzle connected to the upper end of said second water conduit for discharge of water under pressure to ambient atmosphere through said second water discharge nozzle; an air valve adjacent the upper ends of said conduits and connected to said second water conduit and said air conduit whereby said air valve disconnects the supply of air under pressure from said air conduit to said at least one air external discharge nozzle when said air valve is subjected to water under pressure from said second water conduit.
