Abstract: Apparatus for and method of making snow which involves a water source, a compressed air source, a mixing chamber and an exit orifice. Compressed air and water are mixed in the chamber and then expelled into ambient air having a temperature below 32.degree. F. A continuous flow of water substantially surrounds the mixing chamber and at least a portion of the exit orifice, and the amount and temperature of this flow of water is controlled to prevent clogging of the chamber and orifice by freezing of the water and air-water mixture therein. In one form the water is circulated past the mixing chamber and a major portion thereof is fed onwardly to additional snowmaking nozzles.
