Tickets include food and drinks along the candle lit course. The course is approximately 2.5k and will include four bonfire stops. Each stop will have a beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic, your choice) and a snack. Eat, Ski, and Be Merry will not be able to accommodate various dietary restrictions, but plan to offer a variety of foods (so hopefully there is something for everyone).
