portion of the evening’s sales directly benefit the Roaring Fork Gay
& Lesbian Community Fund so splurge! You’ve earned it!

Thursday
Comedy Night
He who laughs loudest laughs best or she who laughs last laughs longest or
something like that…Don’t miss our annual Comedy Night at the Historic
Wheeler Opera House. We’ll be bringing in the best talent for an
unforgettable gut-wrencher! Tickets will be available at www.wheeleroperahouse.com
or by calling 970-920-5770.
Mine Shaft Party
Gay Ski Week presents the Aspen version of a mineshaft, which is a little
more upscale than the ones found in the surrounding mountains. Dress is
dirty overalls and other miner apparel - or not... A real throwback to
Aspen's silver mining days.
 The
Mineshaft party will be held at Belly Up, Aspens premier nightclub and
music venue. Click

Friday
Downhill Costume Competition
This is such a popular event with our participants and locals alike.
It’s SO much fun! Compete in the Downhill Costume Contest and try
for the grand prize of $500. Or buy a table and have a real sit
down. OR both! You can pick up some last minute costumes on
the 2nd floor of Carl’s Pharmacy on Main Street, next to the Hotel
Jerome. It’s more fun to participate than sit and watch so go to
the website or Hospitality/Registration Suite to pick up an application so
that you can both PLAY and WATCH!
Saturday
"WET" Pool Party
One of our most popular events! We promise you a night to remember
(if you can the next day!) See if you can make it all the way down
the waterslide without spilling a drop of your martini! Be sure and
bring a suit! Swoosh down the slide or grab a floatie and head down
the "lazy river" drinks in hand. They’ll be a DJ for
some musical accompaniment to your time in the hot tub or boards!
See General Info section to arrange transportation. Ride the
bus—all the cool kids will!
Everyday
