                Media One Funski, held annually at Great Bear Ski Resort in Sioux Falls, is the premier outdoor winter event for Eastern South Dakota. Proceeds from the event benefit The Children's Inn, a domestic abuse shelter for women and children in Sioux Falls. This year, snow arrived just in time, meaning more fun for everyone!
