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. \nIt’s the oldest and largest annual LGBTQ+ ski event in the nation\, drawing thousands of people from around the world. \n⛷️ The Vibe: What’s it Like?\nThe 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. \nDuring 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. \nAprès-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. \n🌟 Signature Events & Activities\nThe week is packed with structured events and spontaneous fun. Some of the most popular highlights include: \nDaily 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. \nThemed 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. \nEntertainment: The week features stand-up comedy shows\, film screenings\, concerts\, and of course\, Drag Queen Bingo. \nDownhill Costume Contest: A beloved tradition where contestants ski down the mountain in wildly creative costumes\, judged by drag queens and celebrities. \nFriendship Dinners & Socials: Opportunities to meet people and dine at some of Aspen’s fantastic restaurants. \n🙏 More Than a Party: A Fundraiser \nA significant part of Aspen Gay Ski Week is its mission. The event serves as AspenOUT’s annual fundraiser. \nIn 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. \n \n See Full Schedule\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Programs that support Q+ Ideas and community.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About AspenOUT\nAspenOUT is dedicated to empowering the LGBTQIA+ (Q+) community and their families across the Roaring Fork Valley\, nationwide and worldwide via digital curricula.
