Winter Weekend This is an annual event held in the mountains of Dreiburgen in mid-January, over Martin Luther King weekend. It is a weekend of cabin-camping in the snow (when there is some), with those present doing all the meals, cleanup, and providing activities. There are a limited number of beds and space in the dining hall, so unlike most Caidan events, it is a reservation-only event.

Winter Weekend was granted the status of "Right Noble" by TRM Sven and Kolfinna in the year 2009.
