Dear Community,

 

We are amping up our Health & Wellness program and this year will offer an LGBT Health Fair on Saturday May 4, 10am-2pm, at Boulder Center for Conscious Community (BC3), 1637 28th Street in Boulder. The health fair will be offered free to the LGBT and allied community to offer testing, access to LGBT-friendly providers, and health and wellness-related groups and activities. If you are interested in taking part in the health fair as a provider or as a wellness-related group, please contact Jen at jspolnik@outboulder.org or 303.499.5777.

 

Or if you are interested in attending, be sure to save the date! We will have other health & wellness activities planned throughout the year including hikes, bike rides, and lectures. So stay tuned!

   COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: Aspen Gay Ski Week  - January 13-20  

Aspen Gay Ski Week Colorado LGBTAspen Gay Ski Week is a week long LGBTQ winter event held in January each year. Aspen is located in the heart of the Rockie Mountains just hours from Denver by car and 30  minutes by plane into Aspen Airport. We have plenty to for everyone..even if you don't ski or board. We have daily skiing/boarding on one of the four mountains in the area with guides for all abilities. We also have daily apres ski parties, dinners, comedy, film, boutique & art walk, nightly parties, snow shoeing, sleigh rides, yogo & spa days...and much much more.

 

If you've been coming for years or it's your first time, there is something new going daily. We have strived over the last 5 years to bring you a world class event set in a beautiful mountain get away. Aspen has over 300 days of sunshine each year...but don't worry, we have our fair share of powder days and it always seems to dump during Gay Ski Week.
