WELCOME EVENT with DJ JOSH PEACE
9pm to 2am @ Hyde Lounge

Welcome to Mammoth! This is our kick-off event to Elevation 2011. Drive into town and get your ass over here. Just show up and meet some of the hard-core skiers and boarders in the group before our first day on the hill. Each year the number of people who arrive for the Welcome Event grows. Last year was our biggest Welcome Event yet, with over 200 guys in attendance.

THURSDAY APRES-SKI with DJ PORNSTAR
3-7pm @ Gomez's

Our first warm up apres-ski. Dibs on the cute guy in the Burton pants.


SANCTUARY NORTH with DJ MICHAEL PAUL
9pm to 2am @ Hyde Lounge

The well known Sanctuary Thursday night at the Abbey in Los Angeles goes North. This will be our first big event, with the boys and girls getting together for cocktails, music and carousing. Last year's event brought out more than 500 boys.

SKI & RIDE HOOK-UP
9:30am @ Canyon Lodge
Let us be your mountain guides! Meet up with the guys from Elevation and SAGA Gay Ski & Snowboard Club for a morning of skiing/boarding. Intermediate and Advanced skill levels, no charge. Look for our signs at Canyon Lodge. We will be there at 9:30am on Friday, March 18th, and Saturday, March 19th. For more information visit sagala.org.


"HARD PACK" APRES-SKI with DJ PORNSTAR
3-6pm @ Smokeyard

Skiers, Studs, One Night Stands & Ski Bunnies. Apres-ski events are the snowboarder equivalent of a very HAPPY HOUR. For many boarders (and wank-plankers), this is their favorite part of a gay ski week. It's a traditional apres-ski (which just means "after you get off your board" in some foreign language) with a bit more alcohol, much better music, and way hotter guys.

"POWDER" APRES-SKI with DJ BRYNN TAYLOR
4-7pm @ Lakanuki

This is our last minute addition to the Elevation line-up! We're growing so fast, we need two venues for our apres-ski events. (But there is still only one ticket to get into both events.) DJ Brynn Taylor, fresh off her Elevation Utah gig (where she kicked serious ass) is joining the Elevation Mammoth family. You will love her!

THE PARTY @ 10,000 FEET with DJ JOSH PEACE
8pm to 1am @ McCoy Station - CATCH THE GONDOLA AT MAIN LODGE

Take a night-time ride in the gondola up the dark mountainside to our second annual mountain-top tea dance. Last year, this party was one of the highlights of the week, and will be a tradition every year. The entire mountain belongs to us. Yes, there is only the light of the moon for about eight minutes while going up the mountain, so if you're afraid of the dark... bring someone to cuddle with. (Cause I'm not going to find him for you, no matter how many times you ask.)

Boys, Boarders & A Beach Party. Malibu Rum is bringing you special cocktails for one of our most popular events. The Saturday après-ski is one of our biggest events, and a signature event during a ski weekend. Straight (or not) off the mountain, and into the bar. No changing, no showering. (Bossy, aren't we?) This is one of our biggest events, so the place will be packed, and we will hit capacity, so make sure that you buy your tickets ahead of time. If you were there last year, you know the meaning of "at capacity."


"DEFROST" APRES-SKI with DJ JOSH PEACE
6-8pm @ Lakanuki

We've gotten too big for our britches! That's right boys, we've outgrown all of the apres-ski venues in the Village so we are adding a second event! When Smokeyard fills up (and we know it will!) head on over to Lakanuki for our other, later apres-ski. Make sure you don't stay and party too long...Avalanche starts at 9pm.



AVALANCHE with DJ ESCAPE & DJ PORNSTAR
9pm to 2am @ Hyde Lounge
10pm to 2am @ Gomez's



Because we are a larger event than any single venue in town, we will sell out of weekend passes, and some events will be accessible only with the weekend pass. To ensure that Elevation is open to everyone, we keep prices far more reasonable than comparable gay circuit events or even the other large gay ski events. For the price of one party during White Party weekend or at Whistler, you can attend all of our events.

So please, buy your tickets ahead of time.

SUNDAY APRES-SKI
3-7pm @ Gomez's

The Sunday après-ski will be our final event, and after tears and many margaritas, Elevation 2011 will be memories and a suntan, except for the last day of skiing on Monday. Mammoth midweek skiing is legendary - no lift lines and the whole mountain to explore.

We'll make restaurant recommendations each night for dinner, but reservations are up to you. These are not official events, just suggestions, and a complete list of our favorite restaurants will be available in our Elevation Guide.

In the ticket section, there is an Elevation weekend pass, which will get you into all of the events. Go to the Ticket section to purchase advance tickets before some events sell out. Tickets will be on sale soon.
