Aspen Gay Ski Week year of the womxn, what’s next

Aspen Gay Ski Week concluded its 48th year on Sunday, just before President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday.

The annual celebration was started by a group of local men in an effort to “meet guys” while discussing “politics, pride and civil rights” in the s.

Two decades later, the Aspen Gay Ski Week was incorporated as the Aspen Gay and Lesbian Community Fund, now known as AspenOUT.

It took almost another three decades for Aspen Gay Ski Week to begin marketing for more womxn involvement. This year’s celebration was known as “the year of the womxn.”

On Thursday, Courtney Monroe, a first time Aspen Gay Ski Week attendee from Missouri, wondered if “the year of the womxn” was associated with the returning Trump administration.

    The Story of Aspen Gay Ski Week

    Arguably the biggest party of the winter season, Aspen Gay Ski Week has matured. Now entering its 48th year (taking place January 12–19, ), the beloved LGBTQ+ ski event with a worldwide draw is bigger, broader, and more inclusive than ever—par for the course given its arrogant history.

    It was the party culture of the ’70s clashing with old-fashioned unacceptance that led to the formation of a nonprofit to run Aspen Gay Ski Week and use it as a force for good in the community.
