TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL WINTER CARNIVAL

PARKING - Parking gets tight, especially on Saturday between 9:45 am and 1:30 pm.  Please plan accordingly. 

CROWDS - If you are looking for smaller crowds, plan to attend on Sunday.

NIGHT SKIING - SATURDAY ONLY - Day Tickets and Unrestricted Season Passes are valid for night skiing.

FOOD - We will be offering our regular menu at the Cafe, Bistro and Espresso. High Camp will be open as well.

PRO TIP - SNACKS - Get some snacks in your pockets.  Kids play hard and wear out more quickly when they play outdoors in the snow.

TEACH PATIENCE, KINDNESS, AND RESPECT - Please help us maintain the fun atmosphere of Winter Carnival by preparing your kids for standing in line at the castle.  Teach them to respect the work of artists by obeying all rope lines and refraining from climbing on or destroying the sculptures.  Thank you!
