Ruff Mountain
All Things Dogs
-
October 5-6, 2024
Join us for a weekend filled with outdoor fun, and a whole bunch of treats, to celebrate the connection we have with our four-legged companions.
From Dock Dogs, to live music, to food and drinks, this weekend is one for family fun!
Rain or shine, our events are happening, and we're still celebrating Ruff Mountain! Join us in the lodge or under our large slopeside tent. We've got you covered!
Watch in awe as dogs of all breeds and sizes fearlessly leap from the dock, aiming for the longest and most impressive jumps. From rookies to seasoned pros, every dog has a chance to shine and showcase their natural talents.
Want to give it a try for yourself and your furry friend? There will be a "Try It" time scheduled into the timeline!
