JANUARY 2015

COMPILED BY SIBONGILE LYNCH

Fun in the snow at Stone Mountain

pend a fun-filled day playing across
five football fields-worth of frosty joy.
Through Feb. 22, Snow Mountain at
Stone Mountain Park in Stone Mountain has all the activities for the perfect
snow day. Located on what is commonly
known as the Laser Lawn, the park has
plenty of real snow!
Zoom down Avalanche Alley, a
400-foot hill covered in snow, either
all together in a family-sized tube, or

alone as a single rider. For little ones,
Snow Mountain has a hill designed
for children under age 3. The park
also features snowman-building sites,
snowball shooting and other activities.
After playing in the snow, warm up by
crackling bonfires, roast marshmallows
and enjoy s'mores.

package pricing, visit stonemountain
