Elevation Mammoth in 2021

The experience and schedule of Elevation Mammoth 2021 is going to be very different than previous years, for obvious reasons of safety and COVID guidelines.

We are creating an expanded outdoor apres-ski experience for Elevation at two of our core venue partners in the Village, Lakanuki and Gomez’s.

You must book a reservation ahead of time for a table at the apres-ski, and we will be following all COVID guidelines from the State of California. Go to our TICKETS page to make your reservation.

Here are the basics of our COVID plan:

• We are asking that everyone bring proof of vaccination, or a negative COVID test administered within 7 days of the beginning of Elevation Mammoth (March 10 or later).
• You must have a table reservation. Table reservations are for your household/travel bubble only. Tables will be 6 feet apart.
• You will have to answer a short COVID/health questionnaire when you arrive at your first apres-ski (do you have a fever, etc), and we will check your temperature.
• Masks must be worn unless you are sitting at your table.
• Hand sanitizer will be available.

You MUST get your lift tickets ahead of time. There are no walk-up lift tickets.

Elevation cancelled Tremblant and Utah to keep our community safe. We still want to keep our community and the community of Mammoth Lakes safe during the week of Elevation Mammot, so we are going above and beyond to ensure that. We know that getting tested is an extra hurdle, but we want our Elevation family to be a good partner with Mammoth Lakes and all of the servers and bartenders and lifties who are going to help us have a great week.

About Us

The Nineteenth Annual Mammoth Gay Ski Week returns to the High Sierras and Mammoth Lakes, California.
Our core mission remains the same after 19 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.

Schedule of Events

We are creating an expanded outdoor apres-ski experience for Elevation at two of our core venue partners in the Village, Lakanuki and Gomez’s.

We are only doing apres-ski events this year, and they will be primarily or completely outside (based on the County Tiering at the time of the event), and YOU WILL BE MAKING A RESERVATION FOR A TABLE as your ticket. Tables are only filled with members of your household/travel bubble. We will sell out of tables, so get them now.

We are asking that everyone bring proof of vaccination, or a negative COVID test administered within 7 days of the beginning of Elevation Mammoth (March 10 or later).

We will follow COVID guidelines and you will receive information on that
• You will have to answer a short health questionnaire when you arrive at your first apres-ski (do you have a fever, etc).
• Masks must be worn unless you are sitting at your table.
• Hand sanitizer will be available

Please make your reservations now. We have a limited number of tables, and once they are gone, we are truly not able to add more. We are also asking that everyone make their reservations prior to the event, so that our staff has a touchless experience of getting you into the apres-skis.

Thank you for understanding and being our partner in making this a safe AND fun experience. We appreciate your support and belief in Elevation.
