Mountain Pride Queer Ski Weekend at Vail
When: Friday, March 22 to Sunday, March 24
Where: Across Vail Village, Vail Mountain and Lionshead Village

“I’m particularly thrilled about the opportunity for fellow community members to connect with the queer community on the slopes,” said Madison Partridge, the executive director of Mountain Pride. “This event offers a chance to celebrate our community, engage in outdoor activities, and forge meaningful friendships.”

Mountain Pride is a nonprofit organization working to bring advocacy, organization and support for LGBTQ+ communities across the Western Slope.

While other mountains across Colorado have hosted queer ski days and events — including a Queer Ski Day at Beaver Creek in 2023 and a Queer Ski Weekend at Keystone on March 1 and 2 — this will be the first queer ski weekend in Vail for the Eagle County-based nonprofit.
