In the heart of the Rockies, high-altitude entertainment reaches new heights this weekend as Vail Mountain transforms its Eagle’s Nest rooftop into a vibrant music venue. This unique setting, perched at an elevation of over 10,350 feet, offers visitors not only stunning panoramic views but also an exhilarating atmosphere for dancing and enjoying live performances. This Saturday, electronic music enthusiasts can look forward to a dynamic set by J. Worra, a rising star in the DJ world, accompanied by Alana English, adding a local flair to the event. The concert will take place from noon until 2 p.m., providing a midday escape filled with beats and breathtaking scenery. Attendees must secure their wristbands in advance, as only 400 are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Beyond the mountain peaks, the valley below hosts intimate musical and culinary experiences that promise to delight attendees. At the Vilar Performing Arts Center, fans of acoustic performances will be treated to an exclusive evening with Grammy-nominated artist Marcus King. Joined by Drew Smithers, this stripped-down show showcases King’s emotive vocals and guitar prowess in a more personal setting. Meanwhile, Beaver Creek Resort elevates its renowned dining scene with "The Alpine Table: A Cabin Chef Series." This event invites guest chefs from prestigious restaurants to collaborate with local talent, creating multi-course tasting menus that push the boundaries of mountain cuisine. On Sunday and Monday, Beano’s Cabin welcomes Blackbelly Market and Restaurant, known for its sustainable practices and innovative dishes, offering guests a memorable journey via snowcat-drawn sleighs.
The Colorado Snowsports Museum is stepping beyond its traditional role, hosting a series of engaging events that blend education with fun. Visitors can meet live owls and learn about these nocturnal raptors during a presentation by the Raptor Education Foundation. Later, they can warm up with bourbon tastings and browse fashionable beanies at the Beanies & Bourbon event. These activities highlight the museum's commitment to connecting people with the rich history and culture of skiing while providing enjoyable experiences that cater to all ages. Through such initiatives, the museum aims to foster a deeper appreciation for the natural environment and the heritage of winter sports.
