Snow Day Winter 2018/2019

Snow Day during Christmas Break 2019. Our first as the Nather Family. As family fun days tend to do, the trip began on a bit of shakey legs. There may or may not have been some grouchiness and fussing (by the grownups). But it turned out to be the absolutely most PERFECT day to play in the snow.

We had aimed for a snow park like Ray Benson or Hoodoo. About 5 minutes shy of those parks, we reached a chains required area. The roads didn't look bad, really, but we pulled over and considered. We had JUST passed several little side-of-the-road snow parks or areas where families had pulled into side roads just to play. Ultimately, Nate didn't feel like bothering with the chains, so we turned around the pulled into the nearest more "rustic" snow park.

After a bit of a walk we got to a small hillside that worked great for sledding, as we could see others before us had done. The entire time we played there, we were the only people doing so. Every so often some people would walk past, but we were the only ones sledding and playing.

The snow was perfect! The hill was great not just for sledding, but for exploring. If you were careful enough, you could climb the snow-covered rocks. We had a fun snowball fight amongs the trees and rocks. It was such a lovely afternoon!
