MTN PRIDE: Pride in the Pow is an inclusive event held at Crystal Mountain Resort in Enumclaw, Washington. This exciting celebration aims to honor and support the LGBTQIA+ community, creating a safe and welcoming space for adventure. Crystal Mountain is proud to partner with Seattle Pride, Queer Mountainers, and QPOC Hikers to promote diversity, inclusivity, and outdoor experiences for individuals of all backgrounds, genders, and sexualities.
The event schedule is packed with a variety of activities and entertainment. On Friday, March 15, participants can join the House Wine Snowshoe tour, which includes a wine tasting and dinner. Advance tickets are required for this unique experience. On Saturday and Sunday, there will be Meet & Ski ride groups available for all skill levels, allowing attendees to connect with others and explore the mountain together. Beginner group lessons will also be offered, providing a supportive and fun environment for those new to skiing or snowboarding.
The festivities continue with mid-day après parties featuring drag performances, lip-sync contests, and chance drawings. The highlight of the event is the Pride Run, where participants can showcase their pride and joy while skiing or snowboarding down the mountain. Additionally, a scenic gondola ride to the summit offers a breathtaking view and the opportunity to enjoy fabulous drag performances and lip-sync contests at the Snow Beach.
Crystal Mountain Resort is committed to prioritizing the health and safety of attendees. The schedule and locations are subject to change as the team works diligently to program events and activations that keep the spirit of MTN PRIDE alive.
