At the Canyons, it's the 8th annual Santa Skis Free Day. On Saturday, Dec. 20, the first 50 guests that dress as St. Nick, Mrs. Claus, reindeer or elves will ski or ride for free.

Only full costumes count. If you wear a partial costume you'll have fun, but you won't be able to ski free. Registration is at the top of the Cabriolet lift in the Resort Village from 8:00am - 9:00am.

And Santas also ski free at  Brighton on Dec. 25 if they're in full costume. Last year a "creative Santa" pinned white socks all the way around the hem of a red jacket to form the "fur." The beard was also something incredibly creative but easy. 

So check your closet and see what you can do to make a full Santa outfit. Then practice some "ho ho ho!"
