Right now is the time of year for us snow aficionados when we’re either out skiing on the slopes or thinking about skiing on the slopes. If you and your gay escort have yet to finalise travel plans and you’re looking for ideal place, then check out these top gay-friendly ski resorts worldwide.
Gay Friendly Ski Resorts
First up, it’s Big Sky in the US state of Montana. It offers one of the biggest areas of skiing in the US – perfect for playtime with your gay escort. Bozeman is a city nearby which passed a resolution just last year in support of civil rights in the LGBT community. So societal progression is assured here. Moonlight Basin is the perfect place to relax, apres-ski. You and your chosen escort can sit in front of a roaring fire in a cosy lodge to warm up after a long day on the slopes. Best to go: late January.
Next is the interestingly named Steamboat, in Colorado. This gay-friendly ski resort prides itself on showing visibility to the LGBT community year-round. It specialises in the niche area of tree-skiing, perfect if you and your gay escort are looking for a bit more of a challenge. Afterwards you can enjoy some downtime in the Slopeslide Grill – this place offers lively fun and frolics apres-ski. Best to go: February.
Lake Tahoe. The immediate advantage of this gay-friendly ski resort is that it’s within driving distance from the all-singing, all-dancing city of San Fran! With a bit more of a buzz than other gay-friendly resorts, this place offers vampy acts in its lounges and casinos for those with a bit of gambling on their mind. Best to go: March.
European Steamy, Sexy, Ski Resorts
But, of course, it isn’t just the USA which offers these high quality, gay-friendly resorts. Over in Europe, there are plenty of them, perfect if you prefer a short hop rather than a long plane journey to a different time zone. And, perfectly naturally, the one of the best and most famous places worldwide to head if you’re after a European skiing break is the Alps. But though they’re littered with hotels, B&Bs and restaurants, there are a few little gems where will you find the most flamboyant, gay-friendly atmospheres, just hidden away.
To start with, there’s Pension Julia. This is a gorgeous little B&B tucked away in Carinthia in the Austrian Alps. With English spoken here as the main language, this is an easy, gay-friendly B&B which also offers perfect skiing conditions for four months of the year and a fun, buzzy atmosphere in one of the most scenic places in the Alps. Best to go: December-January.
And there’s Giardino Mountain. This gay-friendly ski resort is a little different from the others. Perfectly placed to enjoy the very best of the Swiss Alps, it has more of an eclectic feel with just two languages spoken there – French and Italian. So if foreign languages are your thing then this is one of the best gay-friendly ski resorts to head to in the Alps.
