A word from the producers of Aspen Gay Ski Week


It was another banner year for Aspen Gay Ski Week and the producers want to thank everybody who took part:

We just wanted to take a minute to thank you for attending and participating in another successful Aspen Gay Ski Week! In this time of worldwide economic downturn, you made the effort to be here and everyone in Aspen really appreciates it, from the hotels, to the Aspen Skiing Company, to the City of Aspen, to the retailers, to the bars and restaurants.

But most of all, THANK YOU from the Roaring Fork Gay & Lesbian Community Fund! Without your support, we couldn't exist nor could we support our beneficiaries, including local schools and the Western Colorado AIDS Project.

We are still looking at the numbers, but it looks as if we equaled Aspen Gay Ski Week 2008. With our fresh, new host hotel, The Limelight Lodge, we were really able to step it up a notch, bringing most aspects of the event to a central location, which made for some very memorable moments!

And who could forget the Icy Hot Pool Party? Or Purple Reign at The Belly Up? Or Comedy Night at The Wheeler Opera House? A great time was had by all, and we are really looking forward to seeing you again next year in Aspen for Gay Ski Week 2010!
