If the boys wanted this to become a tradition, they should have enlisted the assistance of the student government and included the administration in their plans.
Personally, I can see how this was a danger issue if they did it in a parking lot. They should've been having their snowball fight on a sports field where they were less likely to do damage to themselves and surrounding property. Furthermore, these days schools are overly concerned about getting sued.
What should have happened here is that the boys should have worked with the student government to do this with permission. I know at my high school permission would have been granted given it was a spirit week and we had the free time for it. However, in a normal school day situation, bringing snow in to the student parking lot is a huge distraction. They really should have planned ahead.
