Utah’s Brighton Resort is ringing in the Christmas spirit the best way they know how— with free lift tickets!
On Christmas Day, the first 200 folks dressed up as Santa or Mrs. Claus at the ticket window will receive a free lift ticket for the day. Brighton also knows that the whole ‘holly jolly’ thing isn’t everyone’s vibe, so they’ll also issue free tickets if you’re dressed as the Grinch.
Brighton’s annual Santa Run will also take place in one big showing of Christmas cheer. Those in costume can meet at the top of Majestic at 11:30 a.m. for a group ski lap down together. There’s no better (or weirder) way to say ‘Merry Christmas’ than seeing 200 people dressed as Santa on skis.

In addition to their Santa celebration, Brighton won’t require parking reservations on Christmas Day. Reservations will be required every other day during the holiday period until January 4th, 2026.
Forecasts are showing that Brighton might also have a white Christmas, with four inches of snow forecasted to fall on the 25th and another four on the 26th. Additionally, Saturday, December 27th could bring up to 9″ of snow to Brighton, making for some great Christmas-weekend turns.
Brighton isn’t the only ski area with a silly number of Santa’s gracing the slopes this holiday season. Maine’s Sunday River also recently hosted their Santa Sunday event, which raises money for a local non-profit and spreads holiday cheer via some kind of Santa fever-dream. Whistler Blackcomb also had their ‘Dress Like Santa Day’ this past week. The first 100 folks in line on December 19, dressed in their finest Santa or Mrs. Claus outfits received free lift tickets.

Bari Weiss, two months into her post as CBS News‘ editor-in-chief, was responsible for spiking a “60 Minutes” segment on the “brutal and tortuous conditions” at a prison in El Salvador where the Trump administration has deported alleged illegal immigrants for detention, according to reports.
The CBS News program abruptly announced on Sunday — three hours before airtime — that it was delaying the segment for a future airdate. The report, as previously announced, was to have featured correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi interviewing deportees who the Trump administration has sent to the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT) prison in El Salvador.
Weiss, after requesting “numerous changes to the segment,” spiked the report on Saturday, the New York Times reported. Among Weiss’s suggestions: that the piece should include an interview with White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller or another senior Trump administration official. Weiss, according to the Times, gave Miller’s contact info to the “60 Minutes” team working on the CECOT segment; Alfonsi said she already requested comment from the Department of Homeland Security, the White House and the State Department.
Alfonsi, in an email to CBS colleagues Sunday that was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, wrote, “Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now, after every rigorous internal check has been met, is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.”
Alfonsi also wrote, “We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of ‘Gold Standard’ reputation for a single week of political quiet.”
Staffers at “60 Minutes” are “threatening to quit over this,” CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter tweeted.
CBS News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The incident came after President Trump two weeks ago complained about what he perceived was unfair treatment by “60 Minutes” — and asserted that since David Ellison and his father, wealthy Trump supporter Larry Ellison, close the deal to acquire Paramount (parent of CBS), “60 Minutes has actually gotten WORSE!”
Last week, Trump blasted the Ellisons again over “60 Minutes,” writing in a Dec. 16 post on his Truth Social account, “For those people that think I am close with the new owners of CBS, please understand that 60 Minutes has treated me far worse since the so-called ‘takeover,’ than they have ever treated me before. If they are friends, I’d hate to see my enemies!”
In an announcement Sunday, “60 Minutes” shared an “Editor’s Note” that said: “The broadcast lineup for tonight’s edition of ‘60 Minutes’ has been updated. Our report ‘Inside CECOT’ will air in a future broadcast.” The statement was posted on social media around 4:30 p.m. ET Sunday. The episode was slated to air at 7:30 p.m. ET on the East Coast (or following the conclusion of NFL coverage on CBS).
Asked earlier why the segment was postponed, a CBS News spokesperson said, “The ’60 Minutes’ report on ‘Inside CECOT’ will air in a future broadcast. We determined it needed additional reporting.”
According to the U.S.-based National Immigration Law Center, in March and April 2025, the U.S. government sent more than 280 young men to CECOT, “a foreign jail notorious for torture, in secret, with no notice to their loved ones or attorneys. There, they were held incommunicado and tortured.” Four months later, 252 of the men were released from the prison and “sent to their native Venezuela (notably, a country that a number of the men had originally fled, fearing persecution),” according to the organization.
Earlier this month, Trump slammed Lesley Stahl’s “60 Minutes” interview that aired Dec. 7 with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia), the one-time Trump supporter who has recently been critical of the president on a range of issues. The president wrote on Truth Social that the “Trump-hating” Stahl interviewed “a very poorly prepared Traitor, who in her confusion made many really stupid statements.”
Trump continued: “My real problem with the show, however, wasn’t the low IQ traitor, it was that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE OLD OWNERSHIP.” Trump also pointed out that Paramount Global, seeking to complete its deal with Skydance Media, this summer paid the president $16 million to settle his lawsuit over a “60 Minutes” interview in October 2024 with Kamala Harris, which Trump claimed was deceptively edited and thus caused him personal harm and represented interference with the 2024 election.
David Ellison in October announced a deal reportedly worth $150 million to acquire Weiss’ contrarian outlet The Free Press. He also appointed Weiss as CBS News’ editor in chief. Industry observers speculated that was intended to improve CBS News’ standing with Trump and the MAGA movement.
Meanwhile, just a few months after closing the Skydance-Paramount deal, David Ellison’s Paramount Skydance has launched a hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, attempting to convince shareholders to reject WBD’s deal with Netflix, which is set to acquire the Warner Bros. studios operations and HBO Max.
Sunday’s “60 Minutes,” in place of the report on CECOT, aired a segment from correspondent Jon Wertheim, described like this: “Jon Wertheim travels to Nottingham, England, to visit the Kanneh-Mason family — seven siblings, each still under 30, all celebrated classical musicians whose talent is truly music to the ears. Supporting one another in harmony as they take to the world’s stage, this extraordinary septet, as Wertheim discovers, is an orchestra greater than the sum of its parts.”
The Dec. 21 episode of “60 Minutes” also featured a double-length segment on “The Sherpas of Everest,” for which correspondent Cecilia Vega trekked to Everest Base Camp guided by a 19-year-old sherpa.
President Trump on Thursday signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law, establishing spending at the Pentagon and other priorities for the coming year. The bill approves a record $901 billion in military spending for fiscal 2026, roughly $8 billion more than what the Trump administration requested. It includes a nearly 4 percent pay increase […]
Yosemite National Park’s ski area, Badger Pass, is in for a heck of a week!
Like many other parts of northern California, Badger Pass has seen a slow start to the 2025/26 winter season. Originally, the ski area planned to open fon December 13, however that opening day was pushed back to the 19th, and subsequently the 26th, due to lack of snow. On December 10, the date was pushed back again to January 2, 2026, but with the update that ski patrol training was underway in anticipation of opening day.
While the planned opening on January 2, 2026, currently remains the same, a massive winter storm is headed towards the area. Significant amounts of precipitation have hit Washington and are now moving down to Oregon and eventually, California.
For Bader Pass specifically, the storm is expected to hit warm and in the form of rain for Saturday, December 20 and Sunday, December 21. Temperatures will drop a bit at the start of next week, and a ‘wintry mix’ is forecasted for December 22, 23, and into December 24.
Things should improve by the evening of the 24th, with Snow-to-Liquid-Ratio (SLR) and temperatures dropping a fair amount. Then, between Christmas Day and the end of December 26th, Badger Pass is forecasted to get nearly 30″ of snow. In total, forecasts are calling for 57″ of snow between Christmas Eve and December 27th.

Badger Pass Ski Area is one of a handful of ski areas that operates within a National Park. It’s a modest hill, but it’s been in operation for decades.

Badger also recently upgraded their webcams, which now have a wider and more high quality view of the base area. With Badger Pass relying on entirely natural snow, hopefully the upcoming storm gets them to opening day. The ski area was sadly unable to open over the 2024/25 season due to a lack of early season snow.
The Lake Tahoe area is also expecting fairly significant snowfall over the next week, with several resorts hoping to get impressive totals. Notably, between December 24th & 27th, Kirkwood is forecasting 73″, Homewood could get 45″, Palisades Tahoe is looking at 56″, and Sierra-at-Tahoe and Sugarbowl could both see up to 60″ of snow. Hopefully, this next cycle gives California the snow it needs to kick off its ski season.

The seams were showing at times at the first TikTok Awards held Thursday night the Hollywood Palladium and live streaming on TikTok and Tubi.
But producers, presenters and winners soldiered on with few hitches. The event didn’t take itself too seriously to begin with — with awards in cheeky categories such as “Immediately Add to Cart,” “My Show is On” and “CapCut of the Year” — and the roomful of creators and influencers enjoyed the colorful atmosphere of being fabulous together at the famed Sunset Boulevard venue.
Multiple winners cited the importance of TikTok in their professional and personal lives, whether it is used to build businesses, build confidence or express creativity. Multiple winners accepted their translucent award, shaped like the TikTok logo, with phones in hand.
New Orleans-based TikTok-er Keith Lee won the top prize of Creator of the Year. He boasts 17.3 million followers on TikTok for his family-friendly posts on food, culture and lifestyle matters. The husband and father of three is building out a larger lifestyle brand under the “Familee” moniker.
“This means more to me than I can explain,” Lee said in accepting his award. He told the crowd that he began filming TikTok videos to help overcome his shyness.
Mariah C. Rose, a sports and lifestyle influencer who hosts “Hoops for Hotties,” was named MVP of the Year. Her kudo was presented by Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles. Rose is the daughter of former NBA star Jalen Rose.
The first TikTok Awards held in the U.S. got started almost an hour late because the LED screens on the Palladium’s stage malfunctioned. The ceremony were basically a traditional award presentation — it even opened with a dance number and a satirical song about the events of 2025. It felt awkward in the room for the lack of video clips to demonstrate the nominees’ work, although audio of each clip did run. The video clips did run without interruption on the live stream.
The ceremony was hosted by La La Anthony. A host of prominent TikTok personalities are participating as presenters and nominees. Popular TikTok-er Ashby made a guest appearance, coming out with “K-pop Demon Hunters” voice star Rei Ami to shoot off a “Labubu cannon” out into the seated crowd on the floor of the legendary Sunset Boulevard venue.
“I hope you signed your waivers,” Ashby said as she fired off the Labubus.
Other presenters included Trixie Mattel and “The Bachelor” alum Chelsea Vaughn.
Among the winners were Paris Hilton for Muse of the Year. Hilton was on hand to accept the trophy in the shape of the TikTok logo. She thanked “all my little Hiltons.”
Hilton assured the crowd of colorfully dressed creators and influencers, “You don’t need permission to be iconic. Just show up, sparkle hard and don’t forget that everyone is a princess.”
An hour into to the presentation, the large video screen briefly popped back to life with a video image of the TikTok Awards logo set to the soundtrack of the Coldplay song “Yellow.” But it still could not play clips of nominees.
The crowd was undaunted by the technical snafu. Cheers and shouts were strong from the various cheering sections for nominees.

Outdoor basketball and pickleball courts are popping up everywhere. From parks and schools to private clubs and recreation centers, more people are playing sports outside than ever before. But something else is changing too–the surface they are playing on.
If you’ve noticed brightly colored, clean-looking courts with tile-like patterns, you’re seeing a growing trend: Modular Sports Outdoor Flooring. These interlocking surfaces are becoming the top choice for facility owners and sports planners. But why? What makes them better than traditional concrete or asphalt courts?
Let’s explore how Modular Sports Outdoor Flooring is taking over and why it might be the perfect fit for your next outdoor court.
What Is Modular Sports Outdoor Flooring?
Before we dive into the benefits, it helps to understand what Modular Sports Outdoor Flooring actually is.
These are special flooring systems made up of small, square tiles that snap together. Most are made from high-quality plastic materials like polypropylene. The tiles are designed to connect securely and lay flat on top of a solid base, such as concrete or asphalt. They have built-in textures and patterns that provide grip and allow for proper water drainage.
Compared to a flat concrete slab, modular tiles offer more flexibility, better shock absorption, and improved safety. And unlike paint or coatings that wear off over time, modular flooring stays bright and playable for years.
Now that we know what it is, the big question is–why are so many facilities choosing it over traditional surfaces?
Why Basketball and Pickleball Facilities Are Making the Switch
Basketball and pickleball are two of the fastest-growing outdoor sports today. Communities and schools are investing in new courts to meet demand. But building and maintaining outdoor courts can be expensive and time-consuming.
This is where Modular Sports Outdoor Flooring shines.
Traditional surfaces like concrete crack, wear down, and need repainting often. In areas with a lot of rain or sun, they age even faster. On the other hand, modular courts can be installed quickly, handle harsh weather, and require far less maintenance.
Pickleball, especially, is growing among older adults, who appreciate a surface that is easier on joints. Modular tiles offer a bit of cushioning and reduce the impact of running and jumping.
So whether it’s about cost, safety, or speed of installation, more facilities are turning to this modern solution.
But the benefits go far beyond just saving money. Let’s look closer.
The Big Benefits of Modular Sports Outdoor Flooring
Facility owners don’t just want a court that works–they want a surface that lasts, performs well, and looks great. Here are the main reasons why Modular Sports Outdoor Flooring is winning over so many fans.
Fast and Easy Installation
Unlike concrete or asphalt, which take days or even weeks to install and cure, modular tiles can be laid down in just a few hours once the base is ready. No heavy machines, no mess, and no long wait times. It’s perfect for schools and communities that want to upgrade their courts quickly.
Better Safety and Comfort for Players
Modular tiles are designed with safety in mind. The slightly flexible surface provides some give, reducing stress on knees and ankles. This is especially helpful for young athletes and older players alike. The textured surface also reduces slipping, even when the court is a little wet.
Built-in Drainage and Weather Resistance
One of the biggest problems with traditional courts is puddles. Rainwater just sits on the surface, making it slippery and unsafe. Modular tiles have small holes that allow water to drain through quickly, keeping the surface dry and playable sooner after bad weather. They’re also UV-resistant, so they don’t fade or overheat in the sun.
Long-Term Durability and Cost Savings
Once installed, Modular Sports Outdoor Flooring can last over 10 years with little maintenance. If a tile is damaged, you don’t need to redo the whole court–you can just replace the broken piece. Over time, this saves facility owners money and hassle.
So with safety, durability, and easy care all in one package, it’s no surprise more and more outdoor facilities are making the switch.
A Better Game Experience On and Off the Court
At the end of the day, a court is only as good as the experience it gives players. And here, modular flooring really stands out.
Imagine playing basketball where the ball bounces just right every time. Or playing pickleball without worrying about slipping after a rain. These little details make a big difference in how a game feels.
Players appreciate the smoother surface, which reduces joint pain and prevents injuries. Coaches and organizers like how easy it is to keep the court clean and ready for use. And spectators enjoy watching games on a professional-looking surface that adds to the overall appeal of the facility.
When people enjoy the experience, they’re more likely to come back again and again. That’s great for community engagement and facility revenue.
But what about the people running the facility? Why are they so excited about modular tiles?
Why Facility Owners Love Modular Sports Outdoor Flooring
From a manager’s point of view, there are many reasons to love modular flooring.
First, it’s low-maintenance. No need to resurface, repaint lines, or seal cracks every year. A simple sweep or hose-down is usually enough.
Second, the design options are endless. You can choose from a variety of colors, textures, and even add custom logos or court markings. Want a school logo in the center? No problem. Want different colored zones for multiple sports? That’s easy too.
Third, it’s adaptable. If your needs change, the court can be moved, resized, or expanded. That’s something you just can’t do with concrete.
Lastly, modular courts are a smart investment. They attract players, reduce long-term costs, and show your facility is up to date with the latest sports trends.
But of course, not all modular flooring is the same. The quality matters–and that’s where VMKON comes in.

8. How do I get started with a modular court?
Contact VMKON to discuss your project. They’ll help you plan, design, and install the right flooring for your needs.
Choosing the right surface for an outdoor sports court is not easy. Weather changes everything. One day the sun is blazing, the next day rain is pouring, and sometimes the cold moves in without warning. For people who play basketball or pickleball often, a court that stays safe, dry, and dependable all year long is more than a nice feature. It is a must.
This is where Interlock Flooring comes in. It is built from modular tiles designed to handle tough weather, heavy use, and constant activity. Schools, parks, and community centers around the world rely on it because it works in almost every environment. In this article, we will explore seven reasons why Interlock Flooring is the ideal choice for all-weather sports surfaces. As you read, you will see how each advantage connects to the next and why this flooring has become so popular.
Let’s begin by looking at how it performs when the weather gets challenging.
1. Interlock Flooring Handles Rain, Heat, and Snow with Ease
Every outdoor court faces rain, sun, and cold at some point. Some surfaces crack. Others fade or become slippery. But Interlock Flooring is designed to deal with all of these problems from the start. The tiles include small openings that allow water to drain quickly. After a heavy rain, water does not collect into puddles. Instead, it flows down and away so that players can return to the court much faster.
This drainage system also helps keep the surface safe. Wet courts can cause slips, but the textured finish on Interlock Flooring gives players grip even when the tiles are damp. This makes a huge difference for basketball and pickleball, where quick stops and sudden movements are common.
Protection Against Sun and Heat
The sun can damage many outdoor materials. Paint fades, plastic cracks, and concrete becomes too hot to use. Interlock Flooring tiles are made with UV-stable materials that resist fading and heat damage. They keep their color, and they stay cooler than many traditional court surfaces. This makes them more comfortable for players, especially during long summer days.
Strong Performance in the Cold
Winter weather is tough on many sports courts, but Interlock Flooring can handle freezing temperatures without breaking. It does not crack, shift, or chip when the temperature drops. Snow can be cleared without harming the tiles, and once the weather warms, the court is ready for use again.
With weather resistance covered, the next benefit becomes clear. If a court can handle any season, it can support play all year long.
2. It Keeps the Game Going Through Every Season
One of the biggest frustrations for outdoor sports programs is canceling or delaying games due to weather. Rain may stop a game for a short time, but with Interlock Flooring, it does not have to ruin the whole day. Because the tiles drain so well and dry quickly, players can return to the court shortly after the rain stops.
This reliability makes Interlock Flooring a favorite for schools and public parks. It helps them keep busy schedules on track without constant rescheduling. If you are responsible for maintaining a sports facility, this low downtime can make your work much easier.
Less Damage Over Time
Traditional surfaces like asphalt often crack, chip, or fade due to repeated weather exposure. These problems lead to expensive repairs. Interlock Flooring avoids these issues because it does not absorb water and does not shift with temperature changes. It stays strong and stable throughout the year.
Now that we know Interlock Flooring supports year-round play, let’s see how well it performs during actual games.
3. Built for Basketball and Pickleball
Some court surfaces work for one sport but not another. Interlock Flooring supports both basketball and pickleball, which is one reason it is appearing in more schools and communities.
Better Ball Bounce and Player Grip
Basketball players need a predictable bounce. Pickleball players need a stable surface for quick footsteps and sudden turns. Interlock Flooring provides both. The tiles are firm enough to support a clean ball bounce but flexible enough to reduce impact on joints.
The textured surface also offers strong traction. This means players feel confident making fast moves, stopping quickly, and changing direction without slipping.
Safer for Long Play
Another major benefit is shock absorption. Hard surfaces can be tough on knees and ankles, especially during long games or practices. Interlock Flooring includes small buffers built into the tile structure that absorb some of the impact. This helps players stay comfortable and reduces fatigue.
Performance on the court matters, but so does installation. How easy is it to set up a court with these tiles? That is our next topic.
4. Interlock Flooring Is Easy to Install and Move
Many people are surprised by how simple it is to set up Interlock Flooring. A traditional court building can take days or even weeks. In contrast, these modular tiles snap together quickly with no need for glue or special tools.
A team can install a full basketball or pickleball court in a few hours. This makes Interlock Flooring an easy choice for schools, clubs, and event organizers who need a fast and clean installation.
A Portable and Reusable Court
If a facility moves or expands, the tiles can be removed and installed again somewhere else. Few sports surfaces offer this kind of flexibility. It is especially helpful for temporary events, seasonal programs, or rented spaces where permanent flooring is not an option.
Easy installation is helpful, but people also want a court that lasts. How does Interlock Flooring perform in the long run?
5. It Lasts for Years with Little Maintenance
Interlock Flooring is built for long-term use. Because it resists weather damage and heavy activity, it stays in good shape much longer than many traditional surfaces. Most facilities only need to wash the court once in a while to keep it clean.
Replace Only What You Need
Another strong benefit is the ability to replace individual tiles. If one tile gets damaged, there is no need to repair the entire court. The damaged tile can simply be removed and replaced with a new one. This saves both time and money.
Now that we understand the durability and low maintenance, it becomes clear why many communities choose this surface for their sports areas.
6. A Smart Investment for Schools, Parks, and Communities
When local governments or schools choose flooring, they think about long-term value. Interlock Flooring is cost-effective because it lasts for years, needs very little repair, and keeps facilities active without long closures due to weather or maintenance issues.
Great for High Traffic Areas
Schools and public parks often have hundreds of players each week. Interlock Flooring can handle this constant activity without wearing down. It stays smooth, safe, and attractive even with heavy use.
Since value is such a major factor, the final question becomes: Which manufacturer should you trust? That leads us to the final reason.
7. Why Choose VMKON’s Interlock Flooring
VMKON is known for producing high-quality sports surfaces, and its Interlock Flooring is trusted in many countries. The company offers custom court colors, game lines, and logo options. This helps schools and sports centers design a court that fits their identity.
