Santa and his helpers arrived at the ski slopes(滑雪场) to spread some holiday cheer.

It was told that 150 skiing Santas jumped on skis and snowboards for the 16th annual Skiing Santas event that was held at Sunday River ski resort in Newry, Maine. And the event serves as a festival’s beginning to the holiday season.

“It’s really fun because everyone is a little wild and crazy,” said Catherine Bolender, 53 years old. She has been participating for about a dozen years. “It’s a fun and festive event.”

Thom Bureau is a snowboarder(滑雪小子) and agrees that it’s amazing. It’s also unforgettable. “When you’re on the chairlift, you look back as you’re getting off and the whole chairlift is full of Santas. It’s fantastic, actually,” he said.

The event has become so popular that it’s difficult to get a ticket. Brad and Heather Cope are from Newton Falls. They said the online registration filled up in 4 minutes on November 30 and they were lucky to get the tickets. “We were both on our computers at noon to make sure we got them,” said Brad Cope who is a former ski guider.

Some officials say the event raises a little more than $3,000 for the Sunday River Community Fund. It is a local charity. Participants are required to donate at least $15 to the fund. In exchange, they are allowed to ski for free and can receive another ticket.
