Gotta Do This…Snow Mountain

Snow tubing in Atlanta?

No, that’s not a misprint – that’s true.

As you know, it’s not ever day that you can enjoy a snow day in the deep South. However, if you happen to be in Atlanta anytime now through March 7, you can enjoy the white stuff at Snow Mountain.

Located at Stone Mountain Park (map), this winter wonderland is fill with all types of activities for everyone. In addition to tubing down the 400-foot hill, there’s a large snow one area where you can make a snowman, make (and shoot) snowballs and/or make a snow fort.

There’s also a special area for the younger ones, ages 3 and younger, to enjoy the snow at their own pace as well.

Relax and roast s’mores at the  SnoFire Point, grab a bite at the SnoDeck or enjoy a hot beverage at the HotSpot.

Don’t worry about bringing any equipment, Snow Mountain has everything you need to have a fun time. However, it is recommended that you wear warm water-resistant clothes, boots and gloves. You might even want to bring earmuffs or a hat. Bring a change of dry clothes for afterwards.
