Ski Spree, Sunlight Mountain Resort\u2019s annual winter festival, returns this weekend with lots of fresh powder from a huge snowstorm expected just in time for the celebration.<\/p>\n

The event includes a two-day Mountain Treasure Hunt both Saturday and Sunday. But most of the festivities, including the fourth annual Taste of Sunlight takes place during apr\u00e9s ski on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Some of the Roaring Fork Valley\u2019s top restaurants are participating in the Taste this year, and tasters will have the chance to vote on their favorites, according to Sunlight Sales and Marketing Director Troy Hawks.<\/p>\n

Although not a restaurant, Roaring Fork Spice \u2014 a regular at several area festivals and in local boutiques \u2014 will also be in on the action.<\/p>\n

The tasting begins at 3 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are $15, and are available online at SunlightMTN.com, or at the mountain the day of the event.<\/p>\n
