We’ve rounded up some of the best gay ski weeks to help you find the one nearest you. Check out the list and we’ll see you on the slops!

GayWhistler Winter PRIDE: March 1-8 — The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver directly precede WinterPRIDE this year, making this our pick for gay ski week of the season. GayWhistler is even setting up a special “Pride House” for the games where gay athletes, their friends and family can meet to watch the Olympics on TV together. The house will remain open through WinterPRIDE.

Winterfest Lake Tahoe: March 7-14 — a local pick for the gays by the Bay, Winterfest attracts hundreds of skiers from San Francisco and Oakland to the Tahoe social event of the year.

Elevation Mammoth Mountain: March 17-21 — Elevation is the gay ski magnet of Southern California, temporarily transporting West Hollywood up 11,000 ft. The weekend features world-class DJs and dance parties–who knew winter could get so hot?

European Gay Ski Week: March 20-27 — this year’s event in Tinges, France, draws participants from across Europe. Pack up for a road trip and get out of the cities as you won’t want to miss this celebratory week of events and recreation. Or check out the sexy Euro Ski Pride which takes place the same week in Saalbach, Austria. Nonstop parties, an abundance of hot skiers, and a performance by Boy George–what else could you need?
