Thanksgiving with a Twist & Santa – Nov. 23 - 26
New faces are welcome to join the more than 800 guests who celebrate at Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa every year at the Annual Thanksgiving Day Feast, one of the largest communal Thanksgiving dinners in the U.S. Choose from more than 40 delectable dishes plus a delicious selection of traditional Thanksgiving pies and desserts, or book a “mobile feast,” when you stay at the resort. Pilgrims will deliver a complete turkey dinner that serves 8-10 adults and includes accompaniments and dessert.
Without having to prepare or clean up from a feast, families can also relax and start the holiday season with a fun-filled line-up of kids’ activities. From a meet and greet with Santa to a Travel Buddy Workshop along with Candy Bingo, and the amazing Jim Wand Hypnosis Show on Nov. 25, this weekend is the perfect prelude to the holiday season.
Nordic Center at Eagle Ridge – Opening Day: Dec. 15
Guests who visit the Nordic Center at Eagle Ridge can try something new or participate in their favorite winter sport, including cross-country skiing among more than seven miles of trails, sledding, and skating on the one-acre skating pond. More off-the-beaten-path fun is led by Nordic Center professionals, who take guests on twilight snowshoe hikes and organize broomball games and trips to local distilleries and wineries. They also teach skijoring, where guests’ dogs are attached to owners with a towline and pull them across the snow.
Winter Carnival - President’s Day Weekend Feb. 16-19
Don’t be caught off guard when the kids get another day off in February. Balloon glows and turkey bowling are just a few of the activities at the 2018 Winter Carnival at Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa. In addition to skating, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing available through the Nordic Center, activities also include two Fire and Ice Winter Glow shows with bonfires, broomball, snow art, Putt Putt Ice and Snow Golf and the Ice Bar, serving up cold drinks and warm chili.
Everyone can play inside as well, with activities like giant chess and checkers, ping pong, arts and crafts, bag toss games, or swimming time in the heated indoor pool.
