The club hosted its Ski With Santa event with the trails turned into the Candy Cane Forest for the afternoon. Families were able to go out and ski for free on the day and search for candy canes and get their picture taken with the big guy himself. The chalet was decked out with hot chocolate and snacks for those who wanted to get warm after looking for the sugary loot.

Here’s a look at some of those who came out for the day.
