Big weekend up here, and the low 70s with a high of 72 make it about as perfect as mountain weather gets.
Kick things off Thursday with Sunset Social, 5pm to 9pm at Needles Lodge. Dented Brick is behind the bar this week, and Two Headed Trout takes the stage from 6pm to 9pm for a sunset show 8,700 feet up. Then get ready, because SnowWiesn Oktoberfest officially taps its first keg this Saturday and Sunday, 12pm to 6pm. Bavarian food, local craft beer in a stein, and a vendor village, with Earl Nelson & The Company headlining Saturday and The Swinging Lights closing out Sunday at 4pm. Cap the weekend off with our Mountain-Top Brunch Buffet, seating guests Sunday from 10am to 2:30pm at Needles Lodge (reservations required, so lock yours in now).
