SOME CARNIVAL TIPS

Some tips from the skiwhitepass.com website;

PARKING - Parking gets tight, especially on Saturday between 9:45 am and 1:30 pm.  Please plan accordingly.

CROWDS - If you are looking for smaller crowds, plan to attend on Sunday.

FOOD - We will be offering our regular menu at the Cafe, Bistro and Espresso. High Camp will be open as well.

PRO TIP - SNACKS - Get some snacks in your pockets.  Kids play hard and wear out more quickly when they play outdoors in the snow.
