Zusammenfassung:Snow making apparatus includes a blower for establishing a high volume air flow and a nucleator disposed in the air flow for generating a spray of frozen nuclei. A plurality of water injection nozzles are disposed substantially within and encircling substantially all of the air flow and are selectively actuatable to inject the spray of water into the air stream. Freezing of this spray is initiated by the nuclei at a point remote from the apparatus so as to produce snow.
