While guests are currently snowed in at Sani Mountain Escape, one local family decided to turn the moment into a memory - and built this epic snowman in the middle of the mountains.

Snow days at Sani can be unpredictable, but they also bring out the magic, the laughter, and the kind of moments you never forget.

A big thank you to our guests for sharing these beautiful photos with us.
