Hundreds of Santas Take to the Slopes for Tamarack Resort's "Santa Skis Free" Tradition

TAMARACK, Idaho , Dec. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tamarack Resort celebrated Christmas Day with its annual Santa Skis Free tradition. Over 100 Santas, elves, and one cheeky grinch filled the slopes for a festive day of skiing, snowboarding, and holiday cheer.

Guests dressed in full Santa suits gathered throughout the morning before heading up the Mid-Mountain Lodge for lunch, pictures, and group laps—turning Upper Serenity ski run into a sea of red and white. The long-running event saw many returning Santas and welcomed quite a few first-timers as well.
