We found the snow we had been looking for! The kids were thrilled and we as parents were superheros. Although it was almost a fight to get to that snow. A few parks at higher elevations had enough snow for the kids to sled, so everyone was flooding the parking lots0. Some people were less than polite and cutting in line while driving in and it was getting a bit ugly. Thankfully for us the people before and after us were polite and acted like normal people. The one who were rude obviously were not thinking ahead and realizing that those same people that you cut off and maybe even exchanged a few words with are the same people that you were going to park next to. Yikes!
