About this adventure
Located just 45 minutes northeast of Atlanta on the shores of Lake Lanier, License to Chill Snow Island transforms Margaritaville into an epic winter sports playground. The centerpiece is Blizzard Mountain, an eight-story, 575-foot snow tubing hill that ranks as one of the longest and steepest snow tubing runs in North America, plunging single-riders down high-speed snow lanes with sweeping lake views. For younger visitors and toddlers, the Snow Play Zone offers a dedicated area with soft packed snow for building snowmen, gentle sliding hills, and snowball target games. The island also features Frosty's outdoor ice skating rink, classic carnival rides, and lakeside fire pits where families can roast s'mores while watching evening light reflections over the water.
