BENZIE COUNTY - The big man with the bag took some time to hit the slopes at crystal mountain today for their “Ski With Santa” event.
Along with hitting the bunny hill, Santa took time to talk with kids and give them a peppermint treat. The slopes are open until 9 p-m starting tomorrow until January 4th.
Crystal Mountain shared that today was their best day of the season with 4 chair lifts open, 31 open runs, and a 3 to 4-foot base of snow. Santa said he’s excited to share the Christmas spirit with fellow skiers.
“I love meeting everybody, and I’m sure I’ll be delivering presents to their houses later tonight. And it’s great to meet everybody, get some pictures, and maybe get a few candy canes along the way,” explains Santa Claus.
Crystal Mountain has other activities happening this holiday including laser tag, disc golf, and fat tire biking.
If you missed your chance to hit the slopes with Santa at crystal mountain there is still a chance tomorrow at Shanty Creek Resort’s ‘Free Ski with Santa’ in Bellaire.
