So many of the thrilling stories that swirl, like snowflakes, around Santa Claus involve inclement wintry weather, those snowy squalls that may or may not prevent his magical sleigh from taking flight.
We should take inspiration from these tales as we plan our trip up the mountain, to a tree-tastic and serene spot near Lake Arrowhead where SkyPark at Santa's Village has held charming court since its 2016 reopening.
For sure, this adorable midcentury attraction, which was revived in 2016 after being closed for many years, is looking ahead to a robust and rosy-cheeked Holiday Season, which kicked off Nov. 14.
