Nearly 100 of the world's top winter athletes will take center stage and will compete in the biggest snow sport event of the year.

This week-long festival — the longest running gay ski week in America — serves up 7 nights of parties, concerts, comedy, films, symposiums and dinners.

The event tests athlete’s endurance as they race in teams of two across all four area mountains. The grueling course covers 24 miles and more than 10,000 vertical feet of climbs.

Both nights, from 7pm until 10pm, skiers and riders are invited to come lap the Little Nell Chair under the night sky. Tickets must be purchased ahead of time regardless of season pass status.
