Just Desserts at Enchanted Forest

Picture this: You're cross country skiing on groomed trails through a snowy forest when suddenly you come upon a group of people with chocolate on their faces licking their fingers and eating from a table laden with delectable goodies. Yes, it's time again for Enchanted Forest's most popular event: "Just Desserts" Eat & Ski.

The theme is simple: Enchanted Forest puts homemade desserts from fine restaurants in Red River out on a five kilometer course and skiers ski out to the different sites and indulge. There is no competition involved, although skiers are advised not to start too late if they want to sample some of the more popular concoctions, such as, 18 Layer Chocolate Cinnamon Torte, White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake, Tequila Lime Pie, Black Forest Cheesecake, Mountain Berry Cream Flan, Fudge, Wild Blueberry Pie, Texas Red's cheesecake, Triple Chocolate, Kahlua, Espresso Cake and much more.

The fun happens this Saturday, February 23rd from noon to 2:00 pm at the Enchanted Forest Cross Country Ski Area outside Red River. For more information call the ski area at 575-754-2374.
