EXPLORE THE VENUE
Our Colorado wedding venue offers several ceremony sites to offer, giving you the mountainous backdrop of your dreams. After the ceremony, continue your reception inside our rustic Ski Lodge equipped with a full-service bar. Or, enjoy the outdoors on our expansive Sun Deck while your guests dine in our outdoor tent or play cornhole in the Corral.
The Meadow
The Meadow is our Primary Ceremony site. Located at the trailhead of Babbish Gulch, the Meadow provides plenty of space for your guests to gather to watch you take your vows. After the ceremony, take the Wedding Shuttle to the Lodge to enjoy your reception.
The Lodge
Our rustic Ski Lodge provides plenty of space to host your guests for dinner, speeches, and dancing well into the night. The Lodge is capable of serving up to 225 guests seated at round tables with 6 to 8 chairs. You are more than welcome to transform our property in any way possible to create your special space.
The Sun Deck
Our spacious Sun Deck provides plenty of room to dine in our outdoor tent, dance the night away, or finish the night with a coffee by the fire. Our 30ft x 500ft outdoor tent can host up to 300 people for dinner service.
The Bar
Our newly remodeled, full-service bar may just be the centerpiece of your reception. Run an open, limited-open, cash bar, or any combination. Highlight your signature cocktails. Through our vendors, we are able to provide just about anything that you could request. Hope to enjoy the sunset over your drinks, not to worry? We have an outside bar as well!
The Corral
Our lawn area at the Corral is the perfect place to set up yard games or picnic blankets to watch the sunset. Directly next to the Sun Deck and outdoor seating area, everyone can enjoy the reception and the outdoors.
On-Mountain Ceremonies
While the Meadow is our primary ceremony site, we can also host your vows almost anywhere on the mountain. Say “I Do” at Leonard’s Lookout with Sopris as your backdrop or Mid-Mountain surrounded by aspen groves.
