Over 150 Santas arrived at Windham Mountain resort Sunday morning for their Skiing and Riding Santa day and to benefit a local charity.

Participants in Santa outfits were given complimentary skiing and riding for the day and for two future visits. In turn, donations were gathered from the Santas to benefit the Windham Community Food Pantry.

The resort presented the organization with a donation of over $1,400. Board member Gail Giardino accepted the donation and commented that “they have an increase in requests this season and this donation will help immensely."

The resort announced that due to its success, they will now make Skiing and Riding Santa Day an annual event.
