Tell your pals, bring your kids, bring your grannies! Dig out the snow pants and make sure your winter tires are on ‘cause it’s time to bring the party back to Falcon Lake!

This year the whole festival will be happening on Saturday January 20, with the daytime full of all the wonderful wintery activities that Falcon Ridge provides (skiing, snowboarding, x-country skiing, skating), as well as some Snowdance specials like the Turkey Shoot (Ryan the groomer will never let us get rid of that one), the Sauna and polar bear dip, Skijoring, a Good Neighbour Brewery Snow Bar, Wackydoodle dance party for kids (and adults) in the yurt and more! The Apres ski party and music will commence at 7:30 pm in the ski chalet!

ROUGH SCHEDULE (SUBJECT TO CHANGE!)
Sat Jan 20:

9 am- 1 pm: Little Sister Pop Up in the new Owl Wing Nordic Centre! Located at the resort main office (just up the hill from the ski chalet).

10:30 am – 4:30 pm: Ski Hill open! Grab a lift pass and hit the slopes! Alpine Skiing! Snowboarding! Tubing! And enjoy food at Brooke’s Trail’s End Restaurant.

All Day: Skating rink! Bring your skates! Get your friends together for some shinny! We will have our skating rink up and running near the ski chalet. We will have the link lit up for when it gets dark too!

1 pm – 3 pm: Skijoring! Our friends at the Falcon Beach Ranch will have the horses at the hill and you too can try being pulled behind a galloping horse on skis!

2 pm – 4 pm: Snowdance Photo Booth

3 pm – 4 pm Turkey Shoot! Join Ryan the Groomer on the ice for our annual Turkey shoot. What the heck is that you ask? Well, Ryan draws a target on the ice and we all try and “curl” (slide) a frozen turkey down the ice to be as close as possible to the target. Closest throw brings the bird home!

3 pm – 5 pm: Brûlée Beers with Good Neighbour Brewing! Try a stout beer caramelized with a hot iron poler, as was the fashion with blacksmiths in the 1300s! It is TASTY!
