Snow entered college at the University of California, Irvine. After her first year of college, she answered an employment-advertisement for nude modeling. From there she moved on to pornography. She continued her education but changed her major to Business.
Despite her choice of career, she was initially very inexperienced sexually. She had performed in several smaller gonzo porn scenes and Pro-Am films featured online when she first started, but she has recently focused more on traditional, plot-based 'feature' films. One of her first 'professionally' made as well as distributed movies was titled More Dirty Debutantes 152, produced by Ed Powers.
Her stage name derives from her two favorite childhood fairy tale characters, Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty and Snow White.
She has also moved into directing and is a hostess on Playboy TV. Her directorial debut is Assploitations, later followed by a fairy tale type movie called Perverted Tales. She directs hardcore anal films.
Snow appeared in a cameo in the Judd Apatow film Superbad with fellow pornographic actress Jenna Haze. She also made an uncredited masked cameo in the film The Rules of Attraction.
Some of Aurora Snow's most famous movies are: "Up Your Ass 18" (with Mr. Marcus and Lexington Steele), "Gangbang Auditions 7" and "Trained Teens" (with Gauge and Jules Jordan)
