Snowsport Santa Set to Make Guest Appearances on the Slopes during December

CASTLEFORD, U.K. - Dec. 2, 2014 - PRLog -- Ssssshhhh Santa is coming! Although he will be busy, Santa has promised to visit the snowy slopes at Snozone during the month of December.

For your chance to see Santa in the snow simply visit the restaurant area at Snozone (for free) and you’ll witness first-hand how Santa manages to cover so much distance every season – he’s an expert skier!

Watch him ride the slopes through the viewing glass, while getting involved in the Christmas Treasure Hunts between 11am-4pm every weekend and daily throughout Christmas week, plus free face painting on 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th December.

To have a chance of riding with Santa, simply book into any slope activity (skiing, snowboarding, sledging or the ice-slide) in December, cross your fingers and if you’ve been good, there’s a chance he will treat you with a guest appearance.

Team Snozone will get you into the Christmas spirit with festive mince pies and spiced mulled wine served in the restaurant!
