So why wait for the busiest weeks of the season? Come early, enjoy quieter slopes, check a few gifts off your list, and soak up plenty of holiday spirit along the way. Consider it your chance to get a head start on Christmas mountain style.
First up is the Holiday Dog Parade, where four legged friends show off their festive finery. Then comes the children's Moose March, followed by the Race of the Santas. Hundreds of red suited runners take over Main Street in a spectacle that's equal parts holiday tradition and good natured hilarity.
Join the race yourself or find a spot along the route to cheer on the Santas as they dash toward the finish line.
With the flip of a switch, thousands of lights illuminate the streets, transforming the historic downtown into a glittering winter wonderland. It's the kind of moment that makes everyone feel like a kid again.
Named for the Norse god of snow, this beloved December tradition brings locals and visitors together to summon a snow filled season. Viking helmets and faux fur are practically the dress code, and the streets fill with colorful costumes, music, and revelers ready to pay tribute to Ullr.
