Penguin Slide, BBQ, Skiing At Lisles 49th Annual Snofest

LISLE, IL -- It's not every day that you get to eat barbecue in chilly weather, hit the ski slopes, grab a craft cocktail, and then dance the night away to live DJ music. The chance to do all these things comes once a year at Lisle's 49th Annual Snofest, which is slated for Feb. 16 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Four Lakes Snowsports.

Ski rentals are available for skiers who want to try out the dual slalom course or take part in a "big air competition." Skiing is the main event for Snofest, but there are plenty of ground-bound activities to keep non-skiers entertained.

When you're not watching the competitions, you can channel your inner penguin and zoom down a slide, grab a bite of barbecued eats, or watch a torchlight parade go by.

The night will close out with dancing and craft cocktails underscored by live DJ music from Afterlife ENT. Be sure to stay after night falls to watch a fireworks show light up the sky.
