RED RIVER SKI AREA OPEN FOR THANKSGIVING

Posted on October 01, 2015

It's almost here! Ski season starts Thanksgiving weekend here in Red River and there's still plenty of time to plan your holiday weekend. Every other year or so, our family tends to break away from tradition and do something truly memorable together. One year we had fondue instead of turkey and pumpkin pie. Last year, we had a family 5K fun run. This year, the whole family is heading to Red River to stay at Sitzmark, who has lodging for families of all sizes, and provides rentals for all! These Thanksgiving Specials make it all even more gratifying.

So, if you're thinking of doing something a little different this year, start your own traditions or just take a break from the usual ones, then join us in Red River where even the non-snow bunnies in your family will find plenty to be Thankful for.
