Elevation Utah was a huge hit during its debut last year - it takes place in one of the coolest little ski towns in the West, Park City, a fine place to shop and play in. And it's in the heart of Utah's Wasatch Mountains, which offer some of the best ski conditions in the world: spectacular powder, sunny weather, and beautifully kept facilities.
Book rooms and compare rates on hotels in Park City during Gay Ski Week.
The four-day weekend consists of a series of parties (check the official Elevation Utah event calendar for details, including Welcome Apres-Ski on Thursday, followed that night by dancing into the late hours at another favorite Main Street dance club, Downstairs. On Friday there's apres-ski at the hip Sidecar lounge on Main Street, followed by more dancing and partying into the wee hours. Then on Saturday and Sunday, the festivities continue with more Apres-Ski fun each day, and then big late-night parties each evening. Top DJs Brynn Taylor and Josh Peace are on hand hosting various parties, as is Salt Lake City DJ Chris Barnes. You can buy tickets for Elevation Utah online, with several different packages available.
Of course, there's also skiing each day at different Park City resorts, informal lunch meet-ups, and an Elevation Utah Guide to Park City, with suggestions on dinner, nightlife, and other things to see and do around the area.
Elevation Utah is offering lodging deals at a number of local host hotels - here's the Elevation Utah Lodging Guide, complete with links and booking information on each hotel. These include Yarrow Hotel, the Park City Marriott, Prospector Square Lodge, Treasure Mountain Inn, and the ultra-cushy and stylish Sky Lodge Park City (my favorite of the bunch, but rooms are quite spendy here). Also take a look at the excellent travel website produced by the Park City tourism office as well as the Salt Lake City Convention and Visitors Bureau website, which has plenty of information if you're planning to spend some time there.
