It’s time to ski off the winter blues! Elevation Utah is returning to Park City for its 15th Annual Gay Ski Week February 19–24, 2025.
Elevation was founded by Tom Whitman 22 years ago at Mammoth Lakes, California with the goal of bringing friends together old and new. The Park City event welcomes up to 1,500 skiers and riders for a week of serious fun both on and off the slopes.
Daily activities include skiing or snowboarding at a recommended mountain along with a casual lunch gathering. On Friday and Saturday, Ski OUT Utah will be leading Ski and Ride Mountain Guides at Park City Mountain for intermediate and advanced skill levels. This is a great opportunity to explore the mountain with locals.
A highlight of Gay Ski Week is the après ski scene. Nightly events range from a VIP Wine Reception with complimentary wine, small bites, and mezcal tasting to the Gear Dance Party with DJ Joe Pacheco. Whether you attend one or all, you’re sure to have a great time!

Everyone is really friendly and outgoing so don't be afraid to say hello and strike up a conversation.”
