“MTN Pride: Pride in the Snow” returns to Crystal Mountain Ski Resort this month in association with Seattle Pride and Queer Mountaineers. It’s a chance for all you LGBTQ+ snowbirds to hit the slopes in your gayest Rainbow attire!
The rest of us will be in Seattle wearing our gayest attire and cheering you on from our couches/favorite bar stool because we’re either too fat, too lazy, too poor, too drunk or just not the type to hit any kind of slope other than a slope of ice cream on top of a brownie…
More skinny:
This mountain is for everyone. Join us in celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community during Pride in the Pow!
We invite everyone to come together and set the standard that Crystal Mountain is a safe, welcoming place for LGBTQIA+ persons to adventure. This event offers a little something for everyone with group ski & ride lessons to ridiculously fun activations on the mountain. Come together to experience all the mountain has to offer.
Special thanks to our local partners for their support:
Seattle Pride coordinates advocacy and allyship efforts year-round to promote diversity and inclusivity—and to call our community to action.
Queer Mountainers is a community group founded by queer dreamers, activists, artists, and outdoor enthusiasts. Our mission is to provide community, access to skills & gear, and a safe space for outdoor enthusiasts of all backgrounds, genders, and sexualities.
