About the event:
The 65th Annual Ski Carnival returns February 21–22, 2026, serving up two full days of high-energy competition, creative costumes, and après-ski fun for all ages. Saturday kicks off with Employee Costume Contests, the family-friendly Nesquik Kids Challenge, Snow Volleyball, and the always crowd-pleasing Chippendale and Bikini Races, followed by the presentation of the Ohio Ski Queen and live music from Swagg in The Snowflake Loft. Sunday keeps the momentum going with the Carnival GS Race, Guest Costume Contest, New Belgium Couples Challenge, and the fan-favorite Cardboard Creation Race, wrapping up with awards for all Sunday events. From a fundraising bratwurst burn by Snow Trails Ski Patrol and obstacle courses to live entertainment and legendary ski racing, Ski Carnival is a winter tradition that blends competitive spirit with nonstop ski resort fun.
