Elevation Park City, Utah: March 2012 — Those of you that have attended Elevation Mammoth over the years know the vibe of the event, now in Park City Utah. Elevation draws a friendly, casual group of guys and girls that creates a welcoming, non -pretentious, off the wall fun atmosphere. We really think you will leave this event with new friends and amazing memories.

When you come to Elevation, you also get more options than just big dance parties. The signature après-ski events are more social, “ bar-oriented” events, where you can meet friendly guys and gals from all over the country . Fresh off the slopes, margarita in hand, flushed and tan from a sunny day of amazing snowboarding and skiing, each day will be filled with tons of fun.

European Gay Ski Week: March 24-31, 2012 — This year European Gay Ski Week is going to be held in the heart of the stunningly splendid resort of Alpe d’Huez, making a move away from the blocks and bunkers of Les Bergers, where Ski Week has been previously held. This year the accommodations will be a bit nicer as well, starting at a 3 star rating. Visiting American travelers will be more suited by these new accommodations. All of the accommodations will be centered on the central Avenue de Jeux. Everyone will be within as close proximity to each other as you would like, the promoters have promised the closest thing to a gay village than any other ski resort you have been to.
