For one week a year, Telluride, Colo., hosts a celebration of gay rights, drag and apres-ski
TELLURIDE, Colo. — As you drive into Telluride, Colo., in late winter, you’re greeted by a banner reading “Telluride Gay Ski Week: Thanks for Coming Out,” letting you know from the moment you enter the town that you’re welcome. For one week a year at the end of February through early March, Colorado’s Telluride and Mountain Village host people from all over the country for an LGBTQ celebration.
Around 1977, Busch got in trouble for dancing with another man at a bar, and it spurred gay rights actions in the town. In 1979, Aspen became the first municipality in the stateNow, resort towns around the world host gay ski weeks. “We’re not as big,” said Steve Gumble, founder of SBG Productions. “I like that intimacy of Telluride Gay Ski Week, because you make friends. You can meet people and see them all week long. You’re here to ski, to have fun, to meet people … and who knows? Maybe you’ll find a partner.”
“It’s just amazing to see a ton of queer people from all over the country here, skiing, celebrating themselves, their identity. And, in a way these are all parts of me. Like I’m a skier, I’m gay, and I feel like to have this week here has been so amazing.”
