Pick Your Pleasure: Elevation Ski Week Expands to Third Location
READ TIME: 4 MIN.
After 16 years of promoting Elevation Mammoth, one of the largest gay ski weeks in North America, and eight years of Elevation Utah in Park City, event producer Tom Whitman announces a new addition to the winter gay ski calendar with Elevation Tremblant in Mont Tremblant, Quebec.
With the addition of the new Elevation, Whitman expects more than 5,000 attendees between the three events. By itself, Elevation Mammoth is already the third largest gay ski week in the world and with the addition of Utah, the combined crowds will make Elevation the largest gathering of gay skiers in the world by a single promoter.
"We created Elevation at Mammoth Mountain over sixteen years ago, and eight years ago expanded to Park City for Elevation UTAH. Each year, we have watched the events grow in attendance. But the East Coast was one area where we have always wanted to expand. And Tremblant is the perfect place for Elevation – always ranked one of the best resorts on the East Coast, with very easy access from Toronto, Montreal, Boston and NYC," said Whitman. "With the addition of Tremblant, we can now offer gay skiers more choices all across North America, in the best places to ski," says Tom Whitman. "Our goal for each Elevation is simple: Great skiing, amazing parties, new friends, and memories that will last forever."
Elevation Tremblant
January 31 - February 3, 2019
"I am so excited about our newest Elevation," says Whitman. "It will bring LGBT skiers from Canada and the East Coast to an amazing destination. Not only is Tremblant one of the best ski towns in North America, Quebec is an amazing place to visit not only for the Quebecois culture and the natural beauty, but also for its welcoming attitude towards the LGBTQ community. The community of Mont Tremblant is beyond thrilled to be welcoming the event," says Tom Whitman. "And I'm not going to lie, the friendly and sexy Quebecois and Toronto boys and girls don't hurt."
Elevation Tremblant will feature apres-ski and night-time events over four days, with go-go dancers and DJs from LA, London and Montreal, and themed events, including the Onesie Apres-Ski, the Neon Party and the naughty GEAR party. And of course, hundreds of sexy snowboarders and skiers from NYC, Montreal, Toronto and beyond.
Some of the biggest LGBT travel influencers will be joining us in Tremblant including Max Emerson, Andres Camilo, Eastsiders' Kit Williamson and John Halbach, and Amazing Race Canada's Kristen McKenzie and Steph LeClair.
Elevation Utah
February 21 - 24, 2019
Elevation Utah returns to Park City for the 9th annual "gay invasion of Utah," with DJs, go-go dancers and themed events including the Onesie Party, the Neon Party, the naughty GEAR Saturday night and the signature Elevation apres-ski events. Elevation Utah draws attendees from all over the country for the best snow in the world, to an area packed with world-famous ski mountains, including Park City Mountain – now the largest ski resort in the U.S. and gay events on Main Street in one of the most iconic ski towns in the world.
"I have had some of the best ski days of my life in Park City. Utah really has snow like no other. And there is something very special about a week of big gay events right on the Main Street of one of the most iconic ski towns in the world," Tom Whitman. "And I would put the crowd at our Saturday night as one of the sexiest and friendliest of any gay party in any city."
Elevation Mammoth
March 13 - 17, 2019
Elevation Mammoth will feature a collection of 13 events over five days. The ski by day/play by night weekend starts from the moment guests arrive at the resort with daily events including apr�s-ski and evening parties. Highlights include the signature apres-ski parties, including the themed Onesie Apres-Ski, the naughty night-time GEAR party, Comedy Night, and a VIP wine tasting. The parties at Elevation Mammoth will showcase headlining DJ's including the Perry Twins, Josh Peace, Dawna Montell, Aaron Elvis and Adam Turner, who are joined by energetic go-go boys and dynamic drag queen hostess'.
"The key to the longevity and success of the Elevation events is the attitude of the attendees," Whitman. "Or rather, lack thereof. We specifically encourage everyone to leave any "city attitude" at home, to be friendly and to introduce yourself to new people. And every year, people return because of the friends they have made and the connections they have forged. Some of our attendees have been to an Elevation event more than 15 times. We have Elevation marriages, we even have Elevation kids! But mostly, you'll meet hundreds of fun, friendly, hunky guys (and girls) that you'll want to stay in touch with."
