I am the farthest thing from a skiier. Living in New England for 40 years, the winters never rubbed off on me. Now keeping warm in the ski lodge near the bar and the roaring fire or soaking in the hot tub under the falling snow? Sign me up!
For those of you that are looking for that Gay Ski Weekend may it be for the lodge or the slopes or both and are unsure of many options out there, the always thoughtful Two Bad Tourists just sent me an informative email about their Gay Ski Weekend success stories and recommendations. Some American destinations are in here, but like our readers, the recommendations from Two Bad Tourists are international.
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear “Gay Ski Week?” Images of weirdos in snowsuits and a boring vibe…or cuties hitting the slopes by day and stripping down to skimpy speedos by night? Yes, it's definitely the later! Last year, we attended Snow Pride Barcelona and were pleasantly surprised by the economical, all-inclusive price, down-to-earth participants, spa party (the classy kind) and overall enjoyable weekend with some of Europe’s cutest snow bunnies – or even bears in some cases.
Whether you’re a seasoned skier or snowboarder or a novice and looking to try something new, a gay ski week has something for everyone. In addition to the namesake sport, many of these winter events include snow shoeing, tubing, dance parties with great DJs, pool/hot tub parties, karaoke, speed dating and, of course, lots of tasty drinks and good fun!
