...at Stone Mountain Park just east of Atlanta on MLK day. We had tried to go on a day back in Dec., but got cancelled due to the weather. I think it had been too warm for the artificial snow machine to keep ahead, and the snow was melting faster than the machine could make more fluff. There was a long convoluted rig-a-ma-role about getting the tickets transferred to a different date versus cancelling altogether. But it finally happened and we planned to go on Monday instead. The tickets were purchased for five people, and all we could come up with was a total for four.... so after all the unanswered calls, voice mail messages left and ignored, and frustration of not ever talking to a real person, being disconnected and/or ignored, we returned the tickets, got a refund and started over.
Going from what was likely the warmest day of Snow Mountain to what felt like the coldest when we put on all our layers and trooped out in the below freezing temperatures to amuse ourselves. We were assigned a ten o'clock time slot and we got as many slippery slides in as possible in the two hours we had for making the loop, up the hill on the moving sidewalk and zipping back down the hill in inner tubes. Most of our time was probably spent standing and waiting, and as the crowd increased, there was more wait time, probably due to it being a legal and school holiday, with lots of families out for a day of good clean fun.
