Stone Mountain turns into Snow Mountain! #SnowBlog15 Wednesday 14 January, 2015
Stone Mountain Park is one of the leading attractions in Georgia and is considered an 8th wonder of the world (or maybe that’s a myth). This park is know for its big mountain rock and the activities surrounding it, but they do something special for the winter. Stone Mountain transforms the park into a literal Winterwonderland called SnowMountain. Snow Mountain brings the snow to the city, which Georgia rarely gets but that doesnt stop this park from celebrating the season. I live in Atlanta and I wont say it’s the coldest place in America during the winter months. I was invited to their media day of #SnowBlog15 in which I brought my nephew, my best friend Vanessa and her nephew Trenton experience the fun of Snow Mountain.
The #SnowBlog15 experience consist of bloggers and their families to spend a fun-filled day playing across five football fields of frosty joy. Zooming down the 400-foot hill all together in family-sized tubes and options to go it alone as a single rider. From snowman building to snowball shooting, tubing to togetherness, we were able to enjoy all the moments that will make for the perfect snow day in the city!
The ten year olds Trenton + Elijah at Snow Mountain
This was the first time Elijah and Trenton got a chance to hang out. My best friend Vanessa + I have been friends for over 10 years, but surprisingly enough these two have yet to meet until this day. This was a perfect day for the boys to play and bond, especially since they are the same age and also in that stage where they are too cool to do certain things – but still are fun kids looking for cool things to do!
Aunties Day Out with me + my best friend Vanessa!
Fun fact: I actually used to work at Stone Mountain in high school. Snow Mountain didn’t exists at all. Vanessa actually came to visit me when I worked her as a teenage, so we both were in awe the fun and changes they made to enhance the fun at the park.
The boys are actually hilarious. At first they were kind of timid taking pictures with each other, the just met so you know the awkwardness…but they warmed up to each other after some fun! Vanessa and I both do not have kids yet so it was fun to have a playdate with our nephews and see how pre-teen boys interact.
The first adventure was the Tube Runner. They boys got on the single ones. They actually did this twice they loved it. Yes adults can get on these too, but Vanessa + I opted out because we were scary lol. It’s like the older I get the more I am afraid to take these kind of risk…I was such a punk. There were also Tube Runner meant for 4 people, and we missed out on that too, because the boys were tired after doing this single runners twice in a row! The pre-teens loved this check out the pics below!
This photo made me laugh! There was the cutout boards for photo ops and both boys at first were too cool to be ‘penguins’. I had to make the boys smile but as you can see Elijah wasn’t having it!
Fort Snow was pretty cool. Its a seperate area where kids can just basically have a field day in snow. Again as I stated before, Georgia doesn’t really have snow so this is like a winter playland for the children. Georgia gets more ice than anything but this was really exciting to see at the park! It really was a somewhat of a magically experience it almost felt like it did snow in the city! And come on…what kid doesnt like a fort?? Oh but no snowballing allowed!
The kids could play in the snow by building a snowman (cute Frozen song), there were mini baby tube runners for kiddies under 4ft, and just overall imaginative fun for those who like to play in the cold. My nephew decided to plop right in the snow and make a snow angel. That was cute!
There is even a fun roasting area for smores or marshmellows! This was so fun…plus it was cold out there so a great way to warm up!
Auntie + Nephew’s Day Out!
Overall #SnowBlog15 was lots of fun! It’s definitely a great family experience and hey who doesn’t want to play in the snow every once in while. Why wait for a snowday, and if you are waiting you will be doing that for a long time (sometimes up until March). This was a great winter activity and innovative experience! If you are in Georgia for the winter, stop by and have fun in the sun snow!

As I sit here freezing in NY and praying that there is no snow this year–there you are in Georgia enjoying it LOL. I have to admit that is a really cool thing to do for kids!
Oh my gosh, my boys would LOVE this! I wish we had a place like this near me, I would probably get the mom of the year award for taking them out. I’m glad you and your family had fun 😀
Looks like they had a great time. I’m not a fan of being outdoors in the winter, but if I was going to venture out this looks like something I would enjoy!
What a fun time. I haven’t been to Stone Mountain in years but I need to go back. My relatives owned Stone Mountain before it was Stone Mountain many many many years ago. They had a restaurant at the top. I’m glad they sold it because it provides a lot of fun for a lot of people.
Oh my what an amazing time this would be! My kids have been bugging to do some snow fun but we don’t have enough. This would be awesome, what a fun time! Never been here we are really far but I wish!
What a fun experience for the family to attend! I’m originally from Minnesota, and now live in Sweden- so I have my fair share of snow! I can even share some with ya, if you’d like. I always love going snow tubing and things like that, and back home in Minnesota snowmobiling is my favorite winter activity!
Looks like so much fun. I love tubing! I didn’t get to do a whole lot of it when I lived in Oklahoma. Now that I am in Michigan, we can do it for months. LOL
How fun! And hurrah that the boys finally got to meet. I hope you get to get them together again often. It’s fun when the different parents have kids the same age who like to hang out too. 🙂
Oh my goodness my kids would have a blast at Stone Mountain. We don’t get much snow here in Washington my kids have yet to get to go sledding like that! I love that you were roasting marshmallow though totally not what I think of with snow!
What a fun day for everyone! I went snow tubing once. It was fun, but I screamed all the way down, lol. Looks like your nephew and Vanessa’s had a blast! I think it’s so neat that Stone Mountain actually brings the snow to the city.
At first glance, I could just tell you guys weren’t in Canada, you don’t have mittens on! Up North where I’m from the days are so dreary, and miserable during the winter. Let me just tell you I”m glad I’m living in California now 🙂 🙂 I was home over Christmas and was through with the snow just a couple of days in hahhaa!!
This seriously looks so fun! I miss the snow, and I would love to go to something like this! Sledding and snowboarding are one of my favorite activities, but we just don’t have that in Dallas! Thanks for posting girl!
Oh my goodness – How fun is that?! The tubing looks like so much fun even I would have to try it (and I break easily so I usually avoid these types of things).
I saw all the photos on my timeline and was uber jealous of #SnowMountain15! I live so close and always find out about these events after the fact. I’m going to set a reminder for next year because I…I mean my kids…would have a blast!!!
Oh man, that’s so cool! You always find the neatest blog events to attend- do you mind telling me where you come across all of these things?
Snow Mountain looks AMAZING! 😀

Wow, this looks like so much fun! I have never been to Stone Mountain, but I have wanted to go for a long time.
This looks like it would be a whole lot of fun for the entire family. What an exciting way to get snow without all the cold!
That looks like it was such a good time! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sledding hill like that.
What a hill! My son would love the sledding, and I’d love roasting marshmallows. Mmm… crispy marshmallows.

Oh my goodness, tubing would be so fun! What a great event
That looks like so much fun! I think I would be terribly scared, though.
What fun! We are just a short drive from there, but I haven’t been in years. I had no idea they made snow!
How fun is that? Wow! My kids would love doing that. What a great place to visit!
We are from Atlanta and I miss going to Stone Mountain. I was invited to this event but was unable to go. 🙁
This sounds like a fabulous place. I need to put this on my list.
That looks like a ton of fun, would love to go sledding of some sorts again before the snow is gone!
This looks like such a fun place for the little ones,would be a nice family trip!
I don’t know why but I never imagine Georgia as getting cold!! Looks like a fun place to go and have a blast!
Oh my gosh, my boys would LOVE this! I wish we had a place like this near me, I would probably get the mom of the year award for taking them out. I’m glad you and your family had fun 😀

I’m a sucker for roasting year-round. We roast marshmallows in the winter using a candle. Funny, but it works.
How fun! And hurrah that the boys finally got to meet. I hope you get to get them together again often. It’s fun when the different parents have kids the same age who like to hang out too. 🙂

This is neat. I need to bring the girls up for this… we never get snow either… just ice. Cool pic and thanks for putting me up on this.
This looks like a great experience. I’m going to take a trip, just to do snow tubing. I love riding down hills in the snow.

What an amazing place for the family. I love all of your photos and such a well written review!
I live in Canada and I do not like to do winter activities. I dream of moving to Florida and living in sunshine 365 days a year.
How fun! I would love to take my son there!
OMG what a winter wonderland!! We might have to take our boys there!
That looks like such a blast! We don’t get snow here in Texas so I am very jealous! I love all of the pictures you took and the video too! How fun!

Oh wow, Snow Mountain Park looks like such a blast! I haven’t been snow tubing in forever but would love to take my kids when they are old enough!
How fun! We have the snow festival going on up here in Montreal! I’m hoping to take my son for some snow fun too!
This looks so fun! We just brought in the new year tubing in the mountains. So much fun!
