Mountain Pride Ski Film Screening
Mar

Mountain Pride Ski Film Screening

Mountain Pride has invited us to join them for a powerful evening of film and community as we celebrate Trans Day of Visibility with a screening of TranSending, a series of films highlighting the journeys of trans athletes and the queer experience in mountain towns. This event shines a spotlight on the diverse and resilient voices of trans and queer individuals in the world of skiing and snowboarding, exploring the intersection of identity, adventure, and belonging in outdoor spaces traditionally dominated by cisnormative culture.

Through stunning visuals, heartfelt storytelling, and bold athleticism, these films create space for Trans joy and push the boundaries of sport. The evening will be an opportunity to reflect, connect, and inspire change in the outdoors, encouraging more inclusivity and visibility for queer and trans folks in sports and recreation.

Whether you’re a seasoned skier, a snowboarder, or just an ally, come be part of a safe, welcoming space where we can share stories, create new memories, and amplify the voices of trans athletes on and off the slopes.

We'll start at Gondola 1 at 6pm and uphill for about 45min to 1hr 15min. Groups will naturally form based on different speeds, but ambassadors from GRGA and CCBC will make sure no one is left behind!

Then we'll get together from some Apres at Two Arrows Coffee Bar after (about 7:45pm) with drink specials and a DJ starting at 9pm! This is meant to be a fun social uphill to celebrate those who are single on a day usually dedicated to those who are not.

This isn't meant to push anyone into awkward dating moments, just a laid back evening with friends, no pressure.

Reminder: This is not a professionally guided event, we're just a bunch of folks who love skiing/riding and socializing and are doing what we can to connect the community. Riding is at your own risk.

Bring headlamps, layers, and water!

Ladies' Uphill Meetup in Summit County

Meet at 5:30pm at the bottom of Colorado Super Chair on Peak 8. Paid parking (less than $2 for 3 hours) in the Breck Park Stables Garage. To get to the base area, walk about a minute down the hill from the garage, you will see a covered hotel bridge in the distance on the right, walk under that, and then you will see us. We'll aim to be moving uphill by 5:45. The uphill route is straight up Springmeier to Vista Haus mid mountain lodge. We'll skin for about an hour, ski down and then recollect at Robbie's Tavern at about 7:15/7:30 for bites or drinks to get to know one another without all of the huffing and puffing.

If you aren't able to make the uphill, or perhaps you'd rather meet some people after rather than on the hill, please feel free to just join us for the apres social! We're a real friendly bunch.

All abilities and fitness levels welcome. We move in groups so no one is left behind and attendees can move at their own pace together. For us the goal of these meetups is to offer opportunities for women to get together, nourish current friendships or make new ones, and get outside. We just ask that you try to have a bit of an understanding on your gear as our ambassadors are not pros. We can help point you in the right direction before the event, and we can event help set you up with discounted demos at Cripple Creek Backcountry or demos at Colorado Adventure Guides.

Reminder: This is not a professionally guided event, we're just a bunch of ladies who love skiing/riding and socializing and are doing what we can to connect the community. Riding is at your own risk.

Bring your helmet, headlamps, layers, and water. No uphill pass is required.
