Step 1: Move quickly. The snow will not be around long.

Step 2: Gather a handful of snow and pat it into a small ball. Make sure it sticks together.

Step 3: Roll the ball across the ground so that it gathers more snow. Keep rolling the snow around until the ball is 3 to 4 feet around.

The family came to the Snow Mountain to play with snow and to take advantage of warm temperature. The SnowZone is a winterland with acres of snow play activities.
Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 to make two more snowballs each a little smaller than the other.
