Trade your headlamp for a flickering glow! The most magical event of the year, the annual Flaming Pumpkin Ski tradition returns on November 28th at 7:30 PM. This unique night marks the true start of our ski season. We line the entire 1.25km loop with dozens of carved pumpkins, each lit like a torch, transforming the trail into a stunning, illuminated winter path. Come and experience the quiet, mystical atmosphere of skiing by pumpkin-light, setting your own pace, taking as many loops as you wish. After your run, join fellow skiers inside the Nordic Centre to warm up and socialize!
