First Appearance:


The Snow Valley crew live in a small brownstone complex in the East Village near Tompkin Park, owned by Emma Frost. They have almost the entire building, except for an old guy who lives in the first floor SW apartment that they can't get rid of, because he's been there for forty-five years.

The complex is moderately sized, orginally two three story brownstone apartments that were joined in the mid thirties into a single square building. There is a lobby on the south side, the east and west sides hold all the apartments, the north side on each level (as well as the south side on the second and third level) hold common areas. The lobby itself is the only access to the building and other floors, save for fire escapes and the roof. In the middle of the building, running down all three levels, is the original courtyard. It was glassed in from the room sometime in the 50s, and all four walls are windows into the common rooms and the hallways for the apartments.

The building has been basically neglected from the early eighties to the late ninties. When Frost Industries bought it, workers brought it up to code, replaced wiring, insulation, etc. While the building is structurally sound, it still needed a lot of basic renovation and maintainance to start looking decent.

Plots
