Summit Express Gondola under the Northern Lights

Family Fest: Dark Sky

When the lifts slow down and the sun sets, a whole new side of the North Shore comes to life. Inspired by the region’s certified Dark Sky Sanctuary, this Family Festival invites families to experience the magic of winter with daytime activities, after-dark adventures, and plenty of reasons to fall in love with nature. The weekend kicks off Friday with the possibility of night skiing on Ullr Mountain, conditions permitting. And if the skies align, you might even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.
