A Nakiska Holiday Escape with Santa, Slopes & Snowflakes

A Nakiska Holiday Escape with Santa, Slopes & Snowflakes

by Sophia Gould / Friday, 20 December 2024 / Published in News

Feel the crunch of fresh snow under your boots, the glow of a firepit warming your cheeks, and the melodies of festive tunes drifting through the crisp mountain air. This December 24th and 25th, Nakiska Ski Area is the place to be, where Santa himself will be hitting the slopes from 10:30am to 2:00pm, spreading holiday cheer in the heart of the Rockies.

A Snowy Wonderland

Picture this: snow-dusted trees, the distant laughter of the slopes, and the majestic Rockies providing the perfect backdrop for your holiday escape. Santa’s arrival takes the Christmas vibes to a whole new level! Snap a photo as he waves from the chairlift or share a laugh when he pauses for a chat—Santa’s reflective goggles and jolly wave make for a photo-op you’ll treasure forever.

Shreddin’ with the Big Guy

How often can you say you’ve shared turns with Santa? Whether you’re a seasoned pro carving lines or a first-timer learning the ropes, Nakiska’s slopes offer something for everyone. And when Santa cruises by, decked out in his red suit and reflective goggles, you’ll want to follow his lead.

Take a lesson from Nakiska’s expert instructors and make it a day to remember. Who knows, you might even see Santa throw down a few tricks on his snowboard!

Festive Activities

Beyond the slopes, Nakiska offers plenty of festive activities to keep the entire family entertained. Warm up with a steaming cup of hot cocoa at the cozy base area, where the fire pit creates a gathering place for stories. Enjoy après-skis on the deck of the Finish Line Lounge while laughing with your buds over who had the best bail of the day. Though the Wanidu Tube Park isn’t open just yet, stay tuned for updates as a little snowfall could change that in time for the Christmas holidays. Keep your fingers crossed, do your snow dances, and be ready for some high-speed, downhill fun!

Your Holiday Adventure Awaits

Nakiska isn’t about flashy decorations or over-the-top festivities. Here, the holiday spirit feels unhurried and genuine, inviting you to breathe in the mountain air, soak up the scenery, and truly savour the moments that matter. Whether you’re carving turns on the slopes or soaking in the Hallmark-worthy views, Nakiska is the perfect destination for families and winter enthusiasts alike.

Reserve your lift tickets, book a lesson, and get ready to create incredible moments with your loved ones. Plan your visit now and let Nakiska be the highlight of your holidays. December 24th and 25th are just around the corner—don’t miss your chance to experience skiing with Santa!
