Queer Ski/Snowboard Weekend - Vermont
February 9-12, 2023
We’re headed to Southern Vermont for our annual ski/snowboard weekend! This trip is for the seasoned snow rider and the absolute beginner alike. During the day we will ski and snowboard at a nearby mountain, returning at night to our Bascamp just a short distance away from the resort. There we’ll play games, laugh, share abundant meals, and relax in the warmth of the community (and the sauna). Day passes not included; gear rentals and lessons available at the mountain for an additional cost.
This event is BYOB for anyone 21+ - we ask those who decide to drink alcohol to do so responsibly. For more on our trip substance policies, you can click to view our General Trip and Refund Policies here.

Our sliding scale is meant to make our trips and events more accessible for those who experience financial barriers, are looking for reparations pricing, and/or have high travel expenses. Paying a higher amount allows us to provide more opportunities to others. Paying a smaller amount is recommended for those who would not otherwise be able to afford the estimated value. Please choose an amount that you will be able to pay, but will not hinder your ability to afford food, housing, etc. By paying as much as you can, we are able to serve more of our community members.
Our sliding scale recommendation:
- Low: Yearly income $30,000 or under, struggles to meet basic needs
- Mid (pays estimated value): Yearly income $40,000-$75,000, some expendable income
- High: Yearly income $80,000-$100,000, comfortable, never struggle with basic needs

Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.
