IT MAKES SENSE that Santa’s a good skier – after all, he does live in the North Pole where it’s snowy all winter long.  What do you think Santa does in his off-season besides practice turns in his back yard?

And what does Santa do to celebrate another long Christmas night delivering presents all over the world?  After hopping down the last few chimneys in Montana, Santa gets first chair at Big Sky.

It was a very merry Christmas at Big Sky this year, with Santa continuing his yearly tradition of skiing off the millions of cookies and glasses of milk he polished off on Christmas Eve. 

Santa was spotted on Mr. K, in the base area, riding the Tram, and all over the mountain on Sunday, celebrating and spreading Christmas cheer.

Santa headed back to the North Pole yesterday, but the holidays in Big Sky aren’t over yet.  Check out these upcoming New Years festivities.

Santa finished up his night by sliding down Powder Ridge Cabin chimneys before hitting the slopes at 9am.
