I'm pretty sure the independant sentence is:
"everyone headed for the ski hill."
When it started to snow, everyone headed for the ski hill.
Help. Need to know which part of this sentence is independant.
thanks

Larry is correct.
Dependent (subordinate) clause (cannot be a sentence on its own): When it started to snow
Independent (main) clause (can be a sentence on its own or combined with other clauses and/or phrases): everyone headed for the ski hill.
