Ski or Snowshoe and indulge on local dessert favorites at the same time!
“Just Desserts” Eat & Ski has been a tradition at Enchanted Forest for over 35 years. The theme is simple: Enchanted Forest puts homemade desserts from local restaurants (and avid bakers) out on a four-kilometer course and skiers ski or snowshoe out to the different sites and indulge in goodies like Tiramisu, Fudge, Cinnamon Rolls, Bourbon Chocolate Pie, Wild Blueberry Pie, Key Lime Pie, Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie, Banana Pudding… and much more!
NOON to 2 p.m., Saturday, February 28, 2026
