Vail Gay & Lesbian Ski Week 2012

Vail's Emerging Gay and Lesbian Ski Week

By , About.com Guide

Although it's not quite as famous as Colorado's other big gay ski festivals, Aspen Gay Ski Week and Telluride Gay Ski Week, the emerging Vail Gay & Lesbian Ski Week has been picking up increased traction over the years. Vail Ski Week 2012 dates have not been announced - stay tuned. It's organized by Rocky Mountain Vacation Rentals, which can provide help with finding accommodations during the event.
