This vibrant event brings together the LGBTQ+ community and allies for three days of skiing, snowboarding, entertainment and festivities in the beautiful Catskills.

Something for Everyone

Whether you’re hitting the slopes or exploring Ulster County – which features a wide array of shops, restaurants and bars owned by LGBTQ+ folks and allies – Catskills Pride Ski Weekend offers something for everyone!

A short drive from Belleayre Mountain, there are countless communities that serve as destinations for the LGBTQ+ community, including Big Indian, Phoenicia and Mt. Tremper for attendees to explore.

And, of course, we want to entertain you.  Check out events happening around the area at Big Gay Hudson Valley and Ulster Tourism.  Round out your Saturday with Paige Turner’s AS IF!! It’s the 90’s on Saturday, 1/31, 8:00pm at the Rosendale Theatre.

While you’re here, explore Ulster County’s bars and restaurants, many owned by LGBTQ+ folks and allies and offering special events for Catskills Pride Ski Weekend.

Community Impact

Events like Catskills Pride Ski Weekend are vital for ensuring queer visibility and strengthening businesses and organizations that serve LGBTQ+ people, particularly in the greater New York region.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center, directly supporting the essential work we do in communities throughout the Hudson Valley and the Catskills.

Building on the success of the previous year’s New York Pride Ski Weekend, which saw hundreds of queer community members come together for the event, this year promises to be even more fabulous.
