Attn: June 1st rodeo will have the Hide Race and Bulls Only (no Broncs). The hide race will then be every other week and we will alternate the weeks between Bulls and Ranch Broncs for the remainder of the season. Exception is the Finals rodeo August 17th, when both Hide Race and Ranch Broncs will be held. Be sure and tell your fellow Ranch Bronc and Hide Race Contestants!

Junior and Open Barrels Rule Change — Effective July 23, 2015. Junior age barrel racers can enter the Open Barrels but cannot enter both the Junior and Open Barrels in the same rodeo.
Call-ins will be from 6:00pm – 8:00pm each Tuesday, starting May 30th, 2023. The entry phone number is 970-923-9270 which is the same as Snowmass Rodeo. For entries after the first rodeo, your event may require phone entry throughout the rodeo season or pre-sign up sheet, at the previous week’s rodeo. Bull Riders, Bronc Riders, Steer Riders and Mutton busters must use the call-in line every week. Open and junior barrel racers who did not compete the previous week and sign up must use the call-in line.
You are required to complete a waiver form before your first competition. It is extremely helpful and keeps the line from being too long at the first rodeo if you will download the printable form, fill it out and bring it to your first rodeo of the season. Clink on this link – Waiver Agreement
On the evening of the Rodeo, there will be a sign-in sheet for ONLY the next week’s rodeo. Contestants may register on rodeo night at the rodeo grounds for the performance next week for all events EXCEPT Mutton busting.
Ropers – you will need to make sure who you are roping with prior to calling or signing up for the next week’s rodeo. On the night of the rodeo, team ropers, dally ribbon ropers and barrel racers must pay by 5:30 pm and all other contestants must pay by 7:15pm.
Contestant check in times the night of the performance are as follows:
