Ghostbusters
In ghostbusters, one child is designated as a ghostbuster (or more if there is a large group) and the remaining children are "ghosts." The ghostbuster skis around trying to tag each child, or ghost. As ghosts are tagged by the ghostbuster, they must freeze with their arms out and legs straddled to represent a haunted house. To unfreeze a tagged ghost, another child must crawl beneath the tagged ghost's legs.
Elephant Hunt
To play elephant hunt, place balloons on the lower section of trees along a hill in two lines. Divide the children up into two teams. Each team should send one child down the slope at a time to try to pop as many balloons, or "elephants", with their ski poles as they are going down the hill. The team that pops the most balloons is the winner.
Follow the Leader
Follow the leader works especially well with smaller groups of children. To play follow the leader, designate one child the leader of the group. Have the child select a destination they are skiing to and encourage the rest of the group to follow the leader as closely as possibly.
Ski Freeze
Tell each child to spread themselves randomly on a field with a "flag" (or hat, scarf, glove, etc). At the start whistle, each skier attempts to freeze other skiers by grabbing their flags. Once a skier has been frozen, they must stand on the place where they were tagged as if they were frozen. A frozen skier can try to freeze other skiers as they pass nearby. The winner of ski freeze is the last child standing who has not been frozen.
