It's time to book
your
Aspen Gay
Ski Week
hotel rooms! This
year's event takes
place in January in
what is considered
by many to be
America's premier
Rocky Mountain ski
resort town. While
the main event takes
place on the slopes
surrounding
Aspen,
it is no less
important to make
sure that you find a
hotel that will land
you in the center of
all the action. The
Limelight
Hotel
is this year's host
hotel. Other hotels
that are steps away
from the mountain
include the historic
Hotel Jerome,
Kimpton's
Sky Hotel
and the
Aspen
Mountain Lodge.
While in Aspen, we
recommend you check
out these
restaurants that are
outside of the
hotels,
The Red
Onion,
Wild Fig
and
Gisella.
Aspen Colorado is one of the most exclusive and luxurious ski towns in
the world. With four massive mountains including 5,300 acres of
skiable terrain, it’s no wonder Aspen Gay Ski Week has become
such a huge gathering. This premier LGBT winter travel event has
a history rooted 36 years and it is continuing to grow with
every year that passes. The event is going down January
13th-20th, 2013. Not only is this event about partying, making new
friends, and shredding the mountain, it is also a fundraiser for
The Roaring Fork Gay and Lesbian Community Fund supporting
various charities of gay and lesbian interest in Colorado.
 From
the moment you arrive in Aspen, to the time of departure, your
events calendar will be jam packed for you to choose your
perfect itinerary. There will be sexy pool and hot tub parties,
dance parties, shows, movies, spa times, and of course, skiing
and snowboarding. With so many different things going on, Aspen
Gay Ski Week wanted to make your event planning easier by
offering different passes. The Patron Pass includes VIP
admission to the Opening Cocktail Party, All Galas, the Pool
Party, Apres Ski Parties, Late Night Lounges, Film Night
Reception, seating at the Downhill Costume Competition and
Parade, a Patron Gift Bag, One-Day Lift Ticket, a Week Pass to
the Aspen Club & Spa, and VIP access to all official GSW parties
and events. The Patron Pass is $750 and includes a charitable
donation of $150. The Black Diamond Pass includes General
admission to the Opening Cocktail Party, All Galas, the Pool
Party, Apres Ski Parties, Late Night Lounges, and a One-Day Pass
to the Aspen Club & Spa. The Black Diamond Pass is $300 and

 The
host hotel for the Aspen gay Ski Week is The Limelight Lodge.
This lodge is conveniently located near Aspen Mountain and
renowned downtown landmarks and hotspots. It is “vintage in
spirit and contemporary in design.” Rooms start as low as
$199/night and the rooms are going quickly!
Take time away from your busy schedule and enjoy the great
outdoors and maybe even the great indoors if you are lucky. “If
you enjoy skiing, snowboarding, dining, shopping, music, comedy
and more… you will love Aspen Gay Ski Week!” What happens on the
slopes, stays on the slopes.
