Bring your friends and your skis (or snowshoes) to experience the magic of exploring the Frisco Peninsula on candle-lit trails. Along the trails discover bonfires to warm up and enjoy snacks and drinks with friends. This event is organized by Team Summit, and all proceeds benefit Team Summit Nordic Program.
Tickets include food and drinks along the candle lit course. The course is approximately 2.5k and will include four bonfire stops. Each stop will have a beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic, your choice) and a snack. Eat, Ski, and Be Merry will not be able to accommodate various dietary restrictions, but plan to offer a variety of foods (so hopefully there is something for everyone).
All of the stations, food, and drink will be outside on the ski trail, and once again this year, there will not be an indoor component at the Day Lodge.
