Opening day includes a lot of real snow for Snow Park at Alpine Hills
ROCKFORD Mother Nature graced the area with several inches of snow on opening day of Snow Park at Alpine Hills.
The Rockford Park District finally had enough snow pack to welcome the first guests of the season for tubing activities at 10 a.m. Tuesday. Until this week, the warm winter season prevented workers from making and retaining enough snow on the slopes to allow activities to take place.
But several inches of snow on Tuesday helped add a usable layer to the early snow pack.
William and Krystal Fowler of Floral City, Florida, took a road trip with their two daughters to experience snow for the first time. They were in Kentucky a couple of days ago and searched online for any place where snow was going to fall. William Fowler learned about the forecast for Rockford and arrived at the tubing hill on Tuesday just in time to see the first flurries of snow to fall at the park.
