Here Comes Santa Claus!
Ready or not, the holidays are here. Make this a Thanksgiving to remember when you bring your family to Red River! Our Thanksgiving celebration kicks off at noon at the Red River Ski Area with the frozen turkey race. Children of all ages are invited to race down the Baby Blue Hill on a frozen turkey, providing endless laughs and great photo opportunities.

No Thanksgiving is complete without a traditional turkey dinner. Plenty of Red River restaurants are open on Thanksgiving and would love to have you and your family join them for a delicious holiday meal. Find out more here.

After you have spent a wonderful day on the slopes and have stuffed yourself full of turkey, join us in Brandenburg Park for Switch on the Holidays, Red River's annual tree-lighting and celebration. We sing a few carols with resident songbird Mandy Buchanan and our Dickens' Carolers, then move into the Red River Conference Center for complimentary cookies, cocoa, and cider. The Community House staff will also be there this year with their signature s'mores, and we'll once again host our special guests Santa and Mrs. Claus. This must-do family event starts at 7pm.

The Enchanted Forest Cross Country Ski and
Snowshoe Area is OPEN!

Whether you're looking for some alone time or have your two- or four-legged family members with you, the Enchanted Forest is a great place to get some exercise and enjoy the beauty of nature. Both cross country skiing (XC or nordic for those in the know) and snowshoeing are incredibly easy, but lessons are available for anyone just getting started or looking to pick up a few tips. The Enchanted Forest offers monthly activities after dark such as headlamp snowshoe dinners and moonlight ski tours, and they even have special trails for you to bring your dog. Make sure the Enchanted Forest is part of your next trip to Red River!
