Abstract

A snow-making apparatus including an ice particle generating machine that produces ice particles that can be utilized to make or use as high quality man-made snow, and a system for remotely discharging the ice particles remotely from the ice particle generating machine through the use of one or more of a fan impeller assembly and a chilled air sealed pneumatic air conveying system. In one preferred embodiment, the apparatus further includes a water droplet or particle dispenser located remotely from the ice particle generating machine and preferably adjacent to the outlet of the apparatus where ice particles are discharged from an outlet pipe, whereby the water droplets are mixed with the ice particles thereby producing snow. Using a combination of ice particles and water droplets allows production of snow efficiently and in large quantities.
