Aspen Gay Ski Week 2026

Aspen Gay Ski Week returns to the Colorado Rockies for its annual gathering of LGBTQ+ skiers, snowboarders and winter sports enthusiasts. Since 1976, this week-long event has transformed one of America's most glamorous ski resorts into a welcoming hub for the queer outdoor community.

The mountains are the backdrop, but the real draw is the community. Days on the slopes give way to evenings packed with après-ski parties, drag performances, themed nights and a legendary closing bash. The event draws thousands of participants from across the US and internationally, filling Aspen's hotels, bars and restaurants.

Aspen Gay Ski Week is produced by Aspen Gay and Lesbian Community Fund and benefits local LGBTQ+ causes. If you're combining world-class skiing with a week of celebration at altitude, this is the event.
