Winter Photo Weekend: Jan. 23-25 at Pine Mountain State Resort Park

Although this event has expired, there is always something to see and do in Kentucky. Visit our Kentucky Events  page for up to the minute happenings and be sure to check out our Things to Do in Kentucky  page.

One of the most spectacularly beautiful places I’ve ever been is Pine Mountain State Resort Park in Eastern Kentucky.  And when I say spectacularly beautiful I mean breathtakingly gorgeous – the sort of scenery you don’t ever forget. Whether you visit in Autumn (see the pictures above), Spring, Summer, or Winter – it’s always the right time to visit Pine Mountain.

Fortunately, you’re looking at a perfect opportunity to either go to Pine Mountain State Park for the first time or a return trip.

Pine Mountain State Resort Park would like to announce the upcoming Winter Photo Weekend set for Jan. 23-25, 2015.

The event features a digital photography competition with divisions for both amateur and accomplished photographers, impressive evening picture shows, and the exceptional photographic work and instruction of John Snell, a native Kentuckian.

Snell, based in Lexington, specializes in landscape, nature, and equine photography. His work has appeared in Outdoor Photographer, Southern Living, and Keeneland magazines, TIME books, McGraw-Hill books, as well as numerous local publications. He also conducts photographic workshops and provides digital printing services. (Visit his website at: www.johnsnellphoto.com.)

The weekend event is a quest that leads you on a discovery trek to out-of-the-way places where raw nature resides. Woodlands, waters, weather, and wildlife are all part of the experience, and it all takes place at one of the park system’s finest natural resorts. The evenings feature spectacular picture shows offered by our guest professional, and the wonderful dining and cozy accommodations on hand at the rustic lodge round out the experience.

The event focuses on nature and offers up four competition categories in two divisions.

Even though the photo competition is timed, the event is hassle-free. The emphasis is on interfacing with nature, finding the best locations, and taking your best shots. The event is a terrific alternative to being cooped up at home watching the snow fly.

If you’re looking to get out in the frosty air to stretch mind and body, Pine Mountain’s Winter Photo Weekend just may be the adventure you’re looking for. Don’t worry about the snow. The park has its own snow removal equipment.

A special event package will be offered for this year’s event that includes two nights’ accommodations and admission to all shows as well as the competition. The overnight package for one person starts at $114.90 (plus tax), and the overnight package for two persons starts at $139.90 (plus tax).

Registration starts at noon Friday, Jan. 23, and the evening program begins at 7:30 p.m.

To make a reservation, contact Pine Mountain State Resort Park’s Guest Services Desk at 800-325-1712 or 606-337-3066.
