SNOW MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate an operation to replaceably connect a water supply hose to a snow gun which blows off a mixture of water and air from nozzles thereof, wherein the water supply hose has a connecting opening thereof disposed below a carrier frame so that an operator can carry out a hose connecting and disconnecting operation without standing on the carrier frame. SOLUTION: A snow gun 16 mounted on a carrier frame 14 comprises a barrel 18 made of a horizontally directed wind tunnel and a support strut 20 which supports the barrel 18 on the carrier frame 14. The barrel 18 has the front portion and the rear portion thereof respectively provided with an air intake opening 21 and a nozzle 22 while a fan 26 which is driven by a hydraulic drive device 24 is disposed in the inside of the barrel 18. Water is supplied to the barrel 18 by means of a water hose which has one end connected to a water supply opening fixedly mounted at a fixing point and the other end connected to a connecting opening 36 mounted on a base strut 32. The connecting opening 36 is disposed below the carrier frame 14. Due to such a construction, an operator can carry out hose connecting and disconnecting operations without standing on the carrier frame 14 thus facilitating such operations.
