Timeline
15:49
Grab a hot chocolate or a warm treat at Mountain Chocolates to keep your hands busy and warm while you walk.
16:34
Head to the sleigh ride starting point. Book your spot for a 45-minute journey through the snow. The sleighs provide blankets and mittens if you need them.
17:19
Ride back to the townsite as the sun dips below the horizon. The sleighs run hourly, so you will likely arrive just after the main event.
17:49
End the evening with a pint at Pump and Tap Tavern. It is a British pub that is perfect for warming up after the cold air.
