This winter season, take the holiday excitement to the slopes by inviting all to Ski with Santa & Friends and The Annual Christmas Tree Lighting on Saturday, Dec. 14.

This festive celebration will feature Santa skiing the slopes throughout the afternoon from 3 to 5:30 p.m. Every half-hour skiers can meet him at designated areas and ride down the hill with him. During this time, carolers will also be spreading their Christmas cheer throughout the resort as they sing holiday favorite tunes.

At the end of the day, Mt. Brighton invites all guests to enjoy complimentary hot cocoa and holiday cookies as they gather to light the Christmas tree at 5:30 p.m.

Santa’s helpers will also be handing out candy canes to skiers and snowboarders throughout the day. The event is free to attend, although lift tickets are required for skiing and snowboarding, which will be offered at normal weekend rates.
