Ski With Santa this Christmas

I'm always looking for interesting ways to add some outdoor time to our holiday traditions. In past years we've driven to Lake Louise for Christmas day to go cross country skiing, we've gone skating in the afternoon of Christmas Day after opening presents, or we've gone sledding with the new Christmas sled found under the tree that morning.  Wondering if skiing with Santa wouldn't be a fun thing to try one of these years (or this year!)

Details:  Ski with Santa as he takes to the slopes at Nakiska on Christmas Day 2014. Watch for the Nakiska Elves that will be handing out candy to skiers and snowboarders around the mountain!

Want to stay overnight?  Check out these Vacation offers.   Kananaskis Village is a winter wonderland for families with ice skating on the pond, groomed x-country ski trails on site, snowshoe trails out your door, and a sledding hill located right beside the playground.  In addition, you can try tubing at Nakiska's Tube Park, new as of last winter.

I know many of you jumped on the cheap season passes this year so I hope to see you on the hill this winter.
