Aspen Gay Ski Week (AGSW) is ranked the best in the world for a number of reasons including:

  1. The inclusiveness of Aspen and Snowmass, with over 50 years of history, has shaped the welcoming nature it is today. AGSW was born out of a civil rights movement for the LGBTQ+ community.
  2. The iconic location of AGSW with access to Ajax Mountain and the world-famous Silver Queen Gondola. The Silver Queen takes you on a scenic journey to the top, hitting 11,212 feet when you arrive.
  3. The talent and unique venues offer attendees a wide variety of activities beyond skiing or snowboarding. Quickly nicknaming itself winter's Q+ SXSW, AGSW keeps growing with programming, including fashion, film, art, intellectual panels, and so much more.
  4. Four Mountains to choose from, including the epic skiing on Highlands after the hike to the top of the "Highlands Bowl."
  5. The people; hands down, this is where the top Q+ professionals come to party, play, and plan. AGSW has rapidly become the next hot spot not only for an incredible vacation but also for networking with other Q+ professionals, making moves.
