Snowmass Spring Fling

Pick your pleasure from a packed schedule of events to send off the season in style at Snowmass–or go to all of them. The Elk Camp Surf and Snow Beach Party (11:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m.) offers up free leis, margarita blender bikes, a dance party, and–new this year–a pond skim. At 3:30, revelers will take to the slopes for the third annual Swimsuit Ski Down. Meanwhile, over at Gwyn’s High Alpine, the Highway to the Danger Zone party (noon–4 p.m.) features an ’80s theme, with games, drink specials, and DJ Berkel Beats, plus prizes for the best Top Gun–inspired costumes. The Spring Fling Beach Party and Pig Roast in Base Village (2–8 p.m.) continues the ’80s theme with DJ music, as well as hot tubs, bottle service, a corn-hole competition, bounce houses, and the third annual pig cook-off; party proceeds benefit Challenge Aspen. Note: Snowmass will still be open for skiing through Sunday, April 21. Gondola foot passes to the Elk Camp party are free, gosnowmass.com

Easter Service and Closing Party
