Ski Resort Gay Weeks - 10 of the best

10th January 2010

Aspen Gay Ski Week is now in its 33rd year. This is the orginal and probably the best. One for all you fact fans - Aspen ski-patrol uniforms are designed by Ralph Lauren.

Gay Ski Week is packed, fairly chilled line-up of films, comedy and music, a "Battle of the Sexual Preferences" ice hockey match, and the Drag Downhill, a cross-dressing ski-off.

WinterPRIDE, Canada

In Whistler, Canada's biggest resort, this event is famous for its hard partying, with a programme that's sporty, sophisticated – and wildly hedonistic. Yoga classes, wine tastings, speed dating, cookery lessons and a fashion show are among the more sober options.

European Gay Ski Week, Tignes, France

Tignes, neighbour to Val d'Isere in the Espace Killy ski area, will again be the European gay ski week. Tignes last year drew a gay crowd of more than 600 in 2009. A strong women's events programme, guest DJs and après session Abba Mountain are among the attractions.

Swing, Switzerland

Considerably less fruity than its name suggests, this gathering in Lenzerheide cultivates a pipe-and-slippers vibe, adding just a film screening, a fondue dinner and a couple of cabaret evenings to group skiing around 155km of pistes.

Solden, Austria

Anyone who has sampled après at one of Austria's livelier resorts will know that the locals aren't afraid to party hard. For the last 11 years, Solden has staged this raucous week of sport, boozing, drag cabaret and club nights.

EuroSki Pride, Austria

This year's launch in Saalbach boasts a performance from Boy George and a huge main stage night with live acts, DJs and fireworks, plus seven sweaty club nights. If the online video trailer is anything to go by – with its butt-naked muscle boys prancing to house tunes in the snow, with only a strategically planted ski for cover – it should be a riot.
