Easter Weekend, March 22-23, brings some special guests to Giants Ridge as well as some great skiing and riding and lots of fun for the entire family -- especially the kids. Dino, the mountain rescue dog, will make an appearance Saturday. The Easter Bunny will be center slope Sunday. There will also be snowman contests, a Big Wheel Spin to Win, and an Easter Sunday Buffet at the Lodge with three seatings. Call (218) 865-7170 for details on the buffet. You can log onto giantsridge.com to check out the many special lodging deals at Giants Ridge and the surrounding area, and spring season lift ticket pricing will be in affect as well. How can you miss, and the conditions are some of the best of the season. The Ridge will shut down at the end of the month for the season.
