Santa is coming to ski at Mission Ridge! Bring your family, your friends, and your smiles to celebrate Christmas on the Mountain with us! Whether you’re coming up to ride or just joining the activities, we’d love to celebrate with you. Take home a cookie-decorating kit, have your picture taken with Santa by the Christmas tree and Snow Santa, craft an elf hat and become Santa’s helpers for a scavenger hunt, and then finish your afternoon with the Torchlight Parade and live music.
