It's been a beautiful winter up until the snowpocalypse hit. With up to 10 inches of snow in some places, Kansas City is a winter wonderland. Instead of complaining about all the cold powdery stuff take advantage of it by heading north to Weston, Mo. Snow Creek is celebrating its 25th anniversary with special promos and prices all season long. There is something for every age group,  from snow monsters (a special 3 hour group lesson for skiing or snow boarding for children ages 5-12), Tornado Alley Snow Tube Park, Rattlesnake Terrain park for extreme riders, to a bar in the lodge for adults. Prices are reasonable and lessons are plenty.
