I went to my 1st Gay Ski Week this year, I cant adequately explain how much fun I had.

What I expected to be a ski holiday with a few gay themed activities here and there ended up with me being spoiled for choice… there were multiple events every night… and not just an organized “We’re just going to eat here” but proper events with excellent entertainment, I’d never seen a drag king before, but Freddie Merkin was outstanding. Frock Hudson and Cliterally were hilarious and had some really entertaining performances… My calendar was so full of events I couldn't actually go to everything.

If you wanted to venture away from the GSWA events, you can also do that… Falls Creek is a lot larger than I thought it would be, there are so many restaurants of so many styles, you won't be able to go to them all…. Everywhere I ate was excellent food wise (And i'm a fussy food guy). I may have had an excursion to Kasa bar, Which I very strongly recommend if you like Japanese.
Adam was very helpful and made everything straight forward, accommodation wise there are a lot of options… I actually had to make changes to my accommodation after some of my group had to drop out, Adam made the process very easy. (I stayed at Frueauf Village and I have to say it was excellent, the Frueauf Village management were super friendly). Collection of ski hire, what to do when we arrive was all explained in a handy email and went without any issues.

The biggest issue with a ski holiday is it isn't the cheapest thing which made some people I invited hesitant to join me, it certainly is not the cheapest trip… through in hindsight I learnt to snowboard, I met many new friends, there was a lot of events, a lot of good food, amazing scenery, very nice "in resort" accommodation… oh and the skiing (Well in my case snowboarding), it's such an amazing feeling when it all comes together. For me it’s all worth it.

There is a big feeling of community through the week. Skiing down the mounting in pride flags was a new experience for me, really filled me with pride (Go figure lol). After the end of GSWA I was ready to book the next year’s GSWA right away.

If you want to get away and do something different that's in Australia and includes a week of pride I can not recommend GSWA enough. GSWA packaged everything together to make going easy, it's not the cheapest trip but it was one I strongly recommend. … Adam thank you so much for an amazing week.

What a great week!
Location, entertainment, accommodation, food and of cause skiing all fantastic.
A great mix of group entertainment and personal time, and it was great to catch up with others we had met 2 years prior.
My first time to Falls Creek and I loved it. My new favourite Oz Ski resort.
Thank you Adam and your team for a great week.

Had a great time at my first event with Gay Ski Week Australia. Would recommend for anyone looking for something a bit different than other "big party" type gay ski weeks. Still lots of fun, but with a smaller and more manageable group, where you get to know almost everyone! Great snow and lots of fun-

An epic week of sweet skiing, meeting fantastic new friends, dancing to simply the best DJ music and great fun every day and night. This is a gay ski week that delivers in every way. Enjoy

I have been to this event twice and without fail.it impresses every single time. You not only get meet some fantastic people, but also enjoy a week of amazing skiing. Every day / evening something is planned for the group, which keeps the event interesting and exciting. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering a ski week with like minded people.

Following a relationship break-up I found myself without a ski buddy. Disaster! I love skiing and didn't want to give up. Gay Ski Week Australia came to the rescue in 2018, providing a fab group of people to ski and socialise with. Everything was well organised, from the transport, through the accommodation, meals and skiing lessons. I really enjoyed skiing at Falls Creek and Mt Hotham, having only skied Buller before in Australia. And with lessons each day, my skiing improved massively. The guys were all so friendly, but it would add icing to the cake if a few more women were to attend in 2019.

I used to ski when I was younger, centuries go and this Gay Ski Week was just the thing needed to ease me back into ski-ing. It was nice to be around like-minded people. Strangely enough, it was at Mount Hotham, that I used to spend a week every year, in the 1960s. Very few Lodges then. It is still a spectacular mountain. Several times, in the summer, I walked across to Feathertop. Un-rivalled scenery in both summer and winter.
