Christmas Eve Candy Canes on the Roller Coasters

Although the SCUM can often be naughty rather than nice, on Christmas eve (before dawn), the SCUM were busy decorating the Roller Coaster trail with candy canes. Even if their ornaments were tossed by the wind and broken, they’d still be edible.

We separated and distributed candy canes through the Roller Coasters:

Thoroughly cold after searching for somewhere to discard our detritus, we headed out the White Bear and had professional lighting for our photos there:

And despite the protests of some of us who were freezing as the temperatures were rapidly dropping, we documented sunrise on the WB:

After skiing White Bear and Moilanen Meadows, we encountered a group of young skiers and urged them out onto the Roller Coasters, where some of them found their rewards:
