It’s Mudslide Weekend in Ellicottville, and you know what that means...runners, obstacles, plenty of mud and loads of crazy fun! On Saturday, June 16, the annual Mudslide returns to the slopes of Holiday Valley, bringing competitors of all ages and abilities. Heck, you might also see Superman or Big Foot out on the course! Racers get a chairlift ride up to the starting line at Spruce Lake. From there, competitors can choose from two distances—a 3.5 mile or a 5.4 mile course. Each course boasts numerous obstacles designed to get you down and dirty. This year, the Mudslide will feature three new obstacles, the first of which is located on the top of Tannenbaum and features a series of two giant rollers. Another new obstacle is a balance beam in the ‘big ditch’ area between Tannenbaum and Morning Star, and the third is a wall rope climb on Foxfire for the long course. Both courses end at the giant mudslide down the bottom of the Yodeler slope, and competitors slip and slide their way down the mountain into a giant mud puddle. Make a splash, cross the finish line and celebrate! Want to make it even more fun? Costumes are encouraged, and prizes will be awarded to the most creative.

Father’s Day weekend is the perfect time to show Dad some love (and a great time!) by sharing a memorable experience together at one of the region’s great outdoor events taking place this weekend. From hiking to biking to hitting the links, there are lots of great ways for families to get away for the day and celebrate the special man in their life. Head to Sky High at Holiday Valley, where dad can climb free on June 17 with a paid admission. Take him into the Aerial Park, where he can choose from courses of varying difficulty, making his way from one platform to the next on ladders, ropes, ziplines and everything in between. Make reservations to secure your spot. As part of Griffis Sculpture Park’s free summer series, take dad on a guided hike through the park from noon to 2 p.m. on June 16.
