Ski Across The Pond

Spring is calling, and so is our favorite tradition- the Slush Cup! This end-of-season celebration is back, featuring live music all day, good food, and the heart-pounding excitement of skimming across the pond (or taking the plunge)!

Don’t miss out on the fun, laughter, and memories as we say goodbye to the season in true Highlands style.
