More Gay Ski Weeks Are Planned For 2010 Than Ever Before

Winter-sports fans have plenty to look forward to once the white stuff starts falling in a few months. Long-running popular gay ski weeks like those in Aspen, Whistler, Telluride, Stowe, Park City, and Lake Tahoe continue to draw plenty of participants, and organizers of these events are expecting solid turnouts in 2010. Additionally, you'll find gay ski weeks or group getaways (many of the latter organized by SKI BUMS - the Gay & Lesbian Skiing and Snowboarding Club) to such diverse locales as Jackson Hole, Wyoming; Big Sky, Montana; Taos, New Mexico; Mammoth, California; and Killington, Vermont.

Fans of European skiing can also count on a number of intriguing options for 2010, with European Gay Ski Week planned for mid-March in the French Alps, and similar events slated for Arosa, Switzerland; Saalbach, Austria; Corte d'Ampezzo, Italy; the Lyngen Alps in Norway.

Finally, the Southern Hemisphere continues to get into the act with several cool events slated for August and September in such ski-and-snowboard playgrounds as Queenstown, New Zealand; Bariloche, Argentina; and Valle Nevado, Chile - and that's just the tip of the iceberg, as they say.
