Help us kick-off the 25/26 ski season
at the Ranch!
Raise your glogg (old-fashioned Swedish spiced wine) for our annual Tommelfest celebration! Kick off the beginning of the winter season at our Viking-themed Nordic festival with free skate & classic cross country ski lessons from DTR Ski Instructors & CU Ski Team Coaches, keg toss, Swedish meatballs, and more–all in the spirit of the first cross-country skiers from Norway and Sweden where the sport originated.
In addition to the outdoor fun, warm up with special Tommelfest winter retail savings pop-up for apparel and gear!
Open to both lodging and non-lodging guests. In the event that snow conditions do not support Nordic Ski Clinics, alternate outdoor activities (Nordic dryland drills) will be substituted.
