“To say we are pretty excited about our new Grand Alpine Hall is an understatement,” said Amanda Monaghan, owner of Thor’s Tipi.

“We’ve been thinking about the best way to help people celebrate Christmas for a while and we know that people are crying out for a truly epic experience that can be shared.

“Whether it is an office party, a catch up with friends or a family meet up, you’re in for a treat.”

Snowboard feasts

Party time

The menu is from York favourite, Yuzu Street Food. “We wanted to create something different when it came to our festive menu, and we just love working with the team at Thor’s,” said Chris Hargroves, Yuzu owner.

“We’ve taken inspiration for the food served in Japanese mountain resorts, so expect dishes like Katsu Curry, Karaage Chicken and even a surprise or two – including pigs in blankets sushi.
