BLUE MOUNTAINS - The third annual Rainbow Ski Weekend is back and bigger than ever! Pack your ski gear and a 90’s inspired outfit because you won’t want to miss out on our Saturday night after party. Early bird tickets are available now until Feb. 13 for this throwback party presented by Fireball. We’re going (Mr.) BIG with featured performances by The Spice Queens and hosted by Xtacy Love with Yohomo DJ Phil V.

The weekend is a celebration of diversity and inclusivity on and off the mountain including fun interactive entertainment all while connecting with old friends and mingling with new ones. “It’s a winter pride celebration that is growing like no other in Ontario”, says Andrew Siegwart, President of the Blue Mountain Village Association, “and an important event for our local Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, and Queer (LGBTQ) community and visiting friends, family and allies. It’s an incredibly fun weekend at Blue Mountain for all.”

The festivities kick off with a flag raising ceremony on Friday March 27 at 6:00 p.m. at the entrance to Blue Mountain Village, and a welcome party at Copper Blues Bar & Grill hosted by Xtacy Love. The mountain is open for skiing and snowboarding all day throughout the weekend. In addition to exploring the 43 runs of exciting terrain, raise your flag high and join our team on a special ‘Rainbow Run’ group parade down Smart Alec at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday March 28 and then right into the Event’s Plaza to kick off the outdoor dance party, fireball sampling and family friendly drag performances.

Continue the celebrations at the official Rainbow Après Parties at Twist Kitchen and Cocktail and Rusty’s at Blue, then on to the late night 90’s party. Recover Sunday at Magnone’s Drag me to Brunch or keep the party going throughout the village and into the evening to enjoy the last night of the Blumination Dream Trail.
