Snowdrop is an albino white-tailed deer who goes on a quest for her true color. She takes along two friends: a snowshoe hare and an ermine (long-tailed weasel). Themes include nature in winter, friendship, colors in winter, camouflage, animal survival…plus a little bit of magic.

This original story and game was written and developed by Lake Metroparks staff.
