Queenstown Gay Ski Week

Queenstown Gay Ski Week is the Southern Hemisphere's premier LGBTQ+ ski event, held each August in the adventure capital of the world. Nestled between the Remarkables and Coronet Peak ski fields, with the dramatic Lake Wakatipu as backdrop, Queenstown provides arguably the most beautiful setting of any ski event on the planet. The week combines skiing and snowboarding on two world-class fields with evenings of parties, drag shows, and après-ski events in this compact resort town that goes all-in for its queer guests.
