More Easter Egg Hunts and other events, starting with some fun on snowy mountain slopes:

  • Okemo Ski Resort, VT
    Okemo ski resort, in Vermont, goes all out for families, so it's no surprise that the place has a fun Easter Egg Hunt. Hundreds of eggs filled with candy and coupons are strewn along some of Okemo’s easiest ski and snowboard trails on Easter morning. The person who finds the one oversized, specially marked golden egg will win a great price like a new snowboard or pair of skis. (This event was canceled in 2012 when Okemo's ski slopes closed early; always double-check when events are weather-dependent.)
  • Copper Mountain Ski Resort, CO
    This ski resort claims to have "Colorado's largest Easter Egg Hunt", including an all-ages hunt on the slopes and two kids hunts in the village. We're talking 50,000 Easter Eggs on the mountain and in the village.
