Darn Tough Scavenger Hunt
We’ll be sprinkling six pairs of Darn Tough socks across the mountain for guests to find throughout the day. These socks, in a variety of sizes, will be hidden in spots around the mountain — so keep your eyes peeled as you explore. It's the perfect way to kick off the season with some extra warmth and comfort on your feet. Happy hunting!
