Gather family and friends for a Christmas Eve tradition under the stars at Granlibakken Tahoe's historic ski hill as skiers illuminate the hill with torches, followed by Santa and his elves arriving on the vintage Tucker Sno Cat. Holiday gifts will be handed out to children and complimentary cookies and winter beverages will be served. (Please note: Depending on the hill's snow levels there may be some event modifications, though the festive atmosphere will remain!)

Dress warmly and enjoy treats and a fireplace in the Ski Hut.

There is no cost to attend, so spread the word and bring your loved ones to be a part of this incredible tradition!

5:10 p.m. - Torchlight parade on ski hill (or Santa parade along entry road way, depending on snow)
