Troll Trolling, Everyday

Troll trolling is an on-going activity that entices children to ski in search of “Trolls”. The "Trolls" are handmade wooded figures placed along the ski trails. A map that shows the Trolls current location (they move around) is posted in the ski shop. Children must use their map to find each troll. When all Trolls are found, the child can then return a completed card to the ski shop in exchange for a really big and very tasty cookie.

K's-for-Kids • Anyday

A child oriented program where kids are encouraged to be outside skiing. Children record how much they ski each time they ski over the winter. When the child reports their progress the ski shop staff will award a gold star for every 3 kilometers they ski on the chart in the ski shop. Special prizes are awarded for 24 kilometers, 45 kilometers and 75 kilometers.
