Events on this Day

Happening March 2 - March 10   Founded by Kids Rock, hosted by Allison Ragsdale Photography, this is the 18th annual Cutest Kids Contest!   This year, we built a one-of-a-kind "Enchanted Forest" set for the Cutest Kids Contest!   Dress your kiddo safari or fairy or in earth tones, neutrals or pastels.   Bring props like an animal or things you'd find in an enchanted forest or use any of ours (including a bubble machine)! We also have a mushroom stool and wooden stump.   We'll have fruit snacks and lint rollers on hand too!   Each kiddo will get a quick and easy 15-minute session in our studio.   Each session comes with a credit to use on your order. In the past we included a 5x7. By popular demand, we are going to give you a credit instead. Feel free to use it on a 5x7 if you want.   All orders will be done online at your convenience after the session. All kiddos will have a secure website you can order from.   Let us know what photo is your favorite and we will upload it to a website for voting. May the cutest kiddo(s) win.   1st, 2nd and 3rd will get prizes. 1st prize will be a $1500 gift card to Allison Ragsdale Photography! 2nd will get $1000 and 3rd $500!

There is just nothing like the bond that develops between women and horses. It's an experience, a connection like no other and they teach us so much in the process. Get up close and personal with our horses. Build trust and confidence. Develop new communication skills, self-awareness and experience firsthand how our horses respond and embrace you as part of their herd. Our Ladies Night is an excellent avenue to foster new relationships and network within our 4 Corners Community. Each month we will have a new and exciting exercise that will have you working with our horses through obstacles and problem-solving exercises that will build on the last, promoting learning, self-discovery and a unique 'girls' night' horse experience you won't forget!

Fireworks and the torchlight parade are two of our favorite events at the mountain, so we decided to bring them back this season! Gather around at 6:30 as the sky darkens over the slopes and enjoy a spectacular fireworks display, followed at 6:40 pm by the patrollers and ski instructors coming down the mountain, lighting up the night with bright torchlights.   Free to the public. Join us afterwards for Live Music at Purgy's

Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Tony Award winning "Urinetown" is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown catapults the "comedic romp" into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter.

We have live DJs playing house and techno all night, from 9pm-2am. Food served late night as well! Great drinks, great vibes, no cover! 21+    Featuring Spark Madden, Ravenous, and Mad Beats.
