Stone Mountain Park Forecasts 100 Percent Chance of Snow

From Stone Mountain Park:

It’s only mid-October, but fresh snow – up to 360 tons per day – is now falling at Georgia’s most visited attraction. Stone Mountain Park officially began the months-long process to create its winter destination, Snow Mountain at Stone Mountain Park, in preparation of opening its ninth snow season just prior to Thanksgiving.

Media are invited to get the first peek at the 2016 snow pile taking shape on the “Laser Lawn” while also viewing construction of the snow tubing lanes that transform the lawn into Atlanta’s must-see winter destination. Snow Mountain tickets are now available via StoneMountainPark.com.

Media may also take home fresh snow to their newsrooms for use with Atlanta’s afternoon and evening weather reports. Live and taped options available; helicopter flyovers may capture the multi-acre scope of the snowmaking process.

What: The season’s first snow is now blowing at Stone Mountain Park to create the ninth season of Snow Mountain. Early-season tickets are now available via StoneMountainPark.com. Snow Mountain opens Nov. 19 and operates through Feb. 26, with Stone Mountain Christmas tickets and combo ticket packages also available now.

Where: Stone Mountain Park – media parking at Memorial Hall (call or text to meet on-site contact for escort)

Who: Jeanine Jones, public relations manager, available to describe the snow scene. Paul Creasy, project manager overseeing creation of Snow Mountain, available to speak to the process his team uses to create and preserve the snow in temperatures up to 80 degrees.

When: Today – Wednesday, Oct. 12 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (live or taped options available)
