Pete Lane’s will offer free bike inspections and there’ll be raffle prizes, including a custom New Belgium bicycle.
It’s not a one-time deal. Live music, lawn games, food and beverages will be offered at River Run from 4 to 7 p.m. for five Wednesdays in a row beginning July 20.
The lift service will be extended two additional hours on those nights with lift service offered from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. And a portion of the proceeds from lift ticket sales will benefit a different local nonprofit each week.
in addition:
- Complimentary yoga classes sponsored by Brass Ranch will be held at 9 a.m. Saturdays and Tuesdays outside River Run Lodge during July and August. Additionally, The Spa at Sun Valley will offer free yoga on the Pavilion Lawn at 10 a.m. on five Wednesdays—July 13 and Aug. 13-24.
