Elevation Mammoth 2025

ELEVATION MAMMOTH 2025 WILL BE MARCH 12-16, 2025. Details coming soon.

It’s been an incredible 22 years of meeting new people from around the world, making new friends (and a boyfriend or two along the way), and creating memories that I will always cherish.

Every year, the event continues to grow. The boys come out in force and turnt the party up!

I’ve produced Elevation for 22 years because it gives me so much in return. I have made lifelong friends every year at Elevation. The event has become a reunion of old friends bringing new friends to the party. Whether you are an Olympic hopeful or you prefer the bunny slope, you will have an amazing time on the hill, and you’ll follow it up by hanging with 2500 friendly, fun, and sexy Elevation attendees.

See you on the hill,

Tom Whitman
Founder, Elevation

About Us

ELEVATION MAMMOTH 2025 WILL BE MARCH 12-16, 2025. Details coming soon.

The Twenty-Third Annual Mammoth Gay Ski Week returns to the High Sierras and Mammoth Lakes, California.
Our core mission remains the same after 21 years: “2,500 riders. 12 major parties. 0 attitude.”
Elevation Offers
A fun alternative to the gay bar scene or party circuit. Yes, we have huge dance parties with nationally known DJs, but this weekend is about more than just those parties. We hold Elevation in one of the most beautiful settings in the country. When you come to Elevation, you experience some of the best spring skiing and snowboarding on the planet, at a world-class resort where the unbelievably long season lasts well into spring and even summer, with one of the highest average snowfalls in the country.
Elevation Draws
An amazing group of friendly, gregarious, unpretentious guys and girls who are here to have fun, ski and board, and meet new friends. I guarantee you'll leave this event with new friends and great memories. Though the majority of Elevation attendees are guys, there is always a great contingent of girls at our events. A good number of locals also come out and join us at the events. This is an inclusive event where we want anyone and everyone to feel welcome and have a great time. That said, this is definitely a gay invasion of Mammoth Lakes, in the best possible way.
