Live Music Series: Peaks & Beats
Weekends at Snowbowl just hit different with Peaks & Beats, our live DJ music series happening all season long at Agassiz Lodge and Hart Prairie Lodge.
Every weekend, DJs bring the energy to the mountain, creating the perfect après atmosphere whether you’re wrapping up a powder day or taking a mid-day lodge break. And we’re turning it up even more with bonus Peaks & Beats dates:
- New Year’s Eve – December 31, 2025

- World’s Best Spring Break (select dates in March)
Snow, music, good vibes – spin it back all winter long!

- Safety on the Slopes runs every Sunday
These weekly events continue through January 24 (Collision Camp) and January 25 (Safety on the Slopes), helping guests of all ages learn best practices, mountain etiquette, and how we can all look out for one another while enjoying the slopes.
