—OUTDOORS—

What: Red Bull must have had a few energy drinks before it decided on this event—Red Bull 1976 Games. To honor the 1976 Olympic Games that never made it to Colorado, the beverage mogul has thrown together two days of winter sport competitions at Winter Park Resort.
Why: Snowblade and old–school tricks competitions promise to add some groovy ’70s spice to the weekly ski routine. By this time in the season, the lift lines, I-70 corridor, and ski traffic begin to take their toll.
Bonus: Throw on last year’s Halloween costume before hitting the slopes and Red Bull may hand you a prize for best costume. No matter what all participants receive a 1976 Gaper hat and white turtleneck.
Details: Fri-Sat, times vary. Winter Park Resort, 239 Winter Park Dr., Winter Park. Free. For more information, visit www.winterparkresort.com or call 970-726-5514.—SPORTS—

What: If Birkram has you breathing wrong and hatha seems too passé, perhaps you need a bit of prajna yoga—a movement technique that combines asana and pranayama yogas, meditation, and concentration practices. This weekend, nationally recognized prajna instructor Tias Little leads a multi-class workshop.
Why: Santa Fe-based Little, whose teaching techniques and philosophies have appeared in Yoga Journal and Yoga Interanational, teaches only a handful of international workshops a year. Better to catch him in Boulder than hunt him down abroad (think: Singapore or London).
Bonus: When Yoga Journal comes to Estes Park in September, Little will be one of 32 instructors. Sneak a peek at what the festival will roll out this fall.
Details: Fri-Sun, times vary. Öm Time Boulder, 2035 Broadway. $55-$330. For more information, visit www.omtime.com or call 720-565-6115.

Why: As a Associate Professor of Photography at CU Boulder, Melanie gives both a personal and professional look at the last years of Walker’s work.
