Aspen Gay Ski Week 2026
2026-01-11 - 2026-01-19 | Aspen, Aspen, CO
Find Tickets to AGSW 2026

🏳️‍🌈 Aspen Gay Ski Week: Skiing, Snowboarding, Celebration, and Pride!
Aspen Gay Ski Week (AGSW) is a week-long, high-energy festival held every January in Aspen and Snowmass, Colorado. Think of it as a combination of a major ski/snowboarding trip, a fabulous Pride celebration, and a massive social gathering, all set against the backdrop of the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
It’s the oldest and largest annual LGBTQ+ ski event in the nation, drawing thousands of people from around the world.
⛷️ The Vibe: What’s it Like?
The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, inclusive, and festive. While the name says “ski week,” it’s not just for expert skiers—it’s a social vacation where everyone in the LGBTQ+ community and their allies can feel safe and celebrated.
During the Day: People hit the slopes! Attendees can gain access to the four mountains of Aspen Snowmass, offering skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. There are often organized groups like “Mountain du Jour” to help people explore. No worries if you don’t ski or snowboard; there is plenty to do, with fabulous restaurants, shopping, and more.
Après-Ski & Night: This is where the Pride celebration truly shines. As soon as the slopes close, the town comes alive with an endless schedule of social events, parties, and entertainment.
🌟 Signature Events & Activities
The week is packed with structured events and spontaneous fun. Some of the most popular highlights include:
Daily Après-Ski: The official daily happy hour/social gathering is a huge draw, often featuring drinks, music, and socializing right after a day on the mountain. Hosted at the Limelight Hotel Aspen.
Themed Parties: Expect major nightly events, which often include famous parties like the Top of the Mountain Party (a massive dance party atop Aspen Mountain) and a large Pool Party Finale.
Entertainment: The week features stand-up comedy shows, film screenings, concerts, and of course, Drag Queen Bingo.
Downhill Costume Contest: A beloved tradition where contestants ski down the mountain in wildly creative costumes, judged by drag queens and celebrities.
Friendship Dinners & Socials: Opportunities to meet people and dine at some of Aspen’s fantastic restaurants.
🙏 More Than a Party: A Fundraiser
A significant part of Aspen Gay Ski Week is its mission. The event serves as AspenOUT’s annual fundraiser.
In short, it’s a unique and iconic winter experience that successfully blends world-class skiing with non-stop partying and a meaningful commitment to LGBTQ+ advocacy.

PURCHASE TICKETS

Join us to listen and enjoy the Threads of Pride: Stories of Resilience, Love, and Becoming storytelling event.

Thread of Pride Storytelling Event
Q+ Storytellers are sharing Live Storytelling event with AGSW, Writ Large, taking place from 7:00pm to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 14, at The Collective in Snowmass. These true tales are part of a collaborative effort to bring together the AGSW community with a most precious gift, stories, and reflections from our lives. Writ Large Curator/Director Alya Howe will support and coach those selected to participate.
The theme of this unique storytelling event is “Threads of Pride: Stories of Resilience, Love, and Becoming.” Here participants will share personal narratives that explore pivotal moments of growth, self-acceptance, finding community, and navigating challenges—all aspects that resonate deeply within the Queer experience. It celebrates individual and shared journeys, encouraging storytellers to bring forward voices representing the vast diversity of the LGBTQ+ spectrum.
Join us to listen to and embrace these unique points of view from members of our community on a night that celebrates their stories.
About the Storytellers:
Christa Wagner Christa’s guiding motto is to live a full, adventurous life. Older and hopefully wiser, she strives to greet each day with a smile and a deep breath.
Allison Alexander Allison has spent her life following her curiosity. Growing up in a military family shaped her love for people, community, and the understanding that life is ever-changing. Her work centers on supporting changemakers in cultivating radical self-love to fuel heart-led missions. Since 2019, she has called the Roaring Fork Valley home, where she enjoys hiking or Nordic skiing with her poodle, Zulu, and cherishes moments with her teenage daughter—especially road trips and crafting sessions.
Myki Jones (They/She) Myki has been writing in the Roaring Fork Valley since 2021. With experience both on stage and behind the notebook, they find joy in creating and amplifying others’ voices through reporting and their work with The Empowered Voice magazine. Their ongoing, beautifully messy journey of identity fuels their hope to inspire others toward self-love, safety, and the freedom to hold all the “chaos” that makes them who they are.
Kathy Potter Kathy lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for nearly 25 years, raising her two children in Basalt and embracing the LGBTQ+ community throughout her life. When her son Jack came out in 7th grade, Kathy and their family welcomed him with full acceptance. After losing Jack to suicide in 2023, Kathy continues to champion mental health and LGBTQ+ youth through the Jack Raife Mental Health Fund, in partnership with AspenOUT. Now living in Southport, NC, she remains deeply involved in Pride events, Aspen Gay Ski Week, and ongoing advocacy work, offering support, visibility, and plenty of mom hugs wherever they’re needed.
Zack Ford (he/him) Zack is an 18-year-old transgender man who has lived throughout the valley, including Rifle, Basalt, and Glenwood. A senior at Yampah Mountain High School, he is an artist and singer with plans to study psychology or law. In the year ahead, he hopes to overcome fear and begin sharing his art, writing, and music with the world.

100% of ticket sales will benefit local non-profit AspenOut.

RSVP FOR FULL INFO

Spring cleaning, but make it gay. 🌈🫧🧺 Purge the ‘fits that no longer spark joy and come shop each other’s closets for free, obviously. There will be changing areas to ensure your finds are a great fit! 💫 Stay for gluten-free & vegetarian treats, bracelet-making, sidewalk chalk fun, and bubbles (because we contain multitudes). 💅 What doesn’t get claimed gets donated. And that’s on fashion karma, babe. 💋 Big thanks to AspenOUT for underwriting this event as well as Stepping Stones for donating the space. 🌟

Prism at the Brick: Window Art, Light, Color, and Space – Aspen
2026-05-07 17:30 - 19:30 | Red Brick Center for the Arts, 110 East Hallam St., Aspen, CO, 81611
SIGN UP HERE

About the Session
Participants must be 21 years of age or older.

Explore how color and light interact through a modern paper cutout project designed for window display. In this guided Creative Happy Hour, participants will create bold, graphic designs using layered translucent materials and negative space. The process is approachable and relaxing, while still offering lots of room for experimentation and personal style. You’ll leave with a finished piece that catches the light and adds color to any window.

Cost
$10; supplies are included.
The Red Brick Center for the Arts is conveniently located just two blocks away from the RFTA bus stop on Garmisch Street.
