The activities at Christmas Mountain Village change throughout the year, even as the peaks and rolling hills surrounding it reveal different aspects of their beauty as seasons change. In summer, a 27-hole championship golf course sends players swinging right down the middle of the resort. Outdoor pools and hot tubs sparkle throughout the grounds, while canoes, kayaks, and paddle boats float on the surrounding natural waters. Warm days are also filled with mini golf, sand volleyball, and horseshoes.

When winter covers the mountainside in snow, it's time to downhill ski. Ten downhill runs range in difficulty from complete beginner all the way up to double black diamond. More advanced snow-masters can practice tricks at the terrain park.

It's a lot to explore in one day, but thankfully, the resort offers many lodging options: including cottages, log cabin rentals, and an RV park and campground. There's also Mulligans Bar and Grill, an ideal place to warm up by filling your mittens with cheese curds.
