Elevation Mammoth brings thousands of gay skiers and snowboarders to the California slopes each March. It’s part mountain escape, part social adventure — a mix of daytime runs and nightly parties that turn Mammoth Lakes into a winter playground for the LGBTQ+ crowd.
By day, the focus is on the snow. The mountain offers wide trails, fresh powder, and plenty of sunshine. Skiers and boarders meet up at mid-mountain lodges or join group runs organized through the festival. The vibe is friendly, sporty, and full of energy.
When night falls, the parties take over. The week includes themed events like the Base Camp après-ski, the Gear Party, and the big White Party. DJs fly in from across the States, and the venues range from cozy bars to large dance halls packed with shirtless skiers shaking off the cold. There’s always something happening — from comedy nights to hot tub socials.
Elevation keeps the balance between mountain charm and city-style nightlife. It’s a welcoming, high-energy week that attracts people from across the U.S. and beyond, all ready to ski hard and dance harder.
