Proceeds from the event will benefit the LGBTQ+ serving organizations involved, directly supporting the essential work they do in communities throughout New York State.
Building on the success of the previous year’s New York Pride Ski Weekend, which saw hundreds of queer community members come together for the event, this year promises to be even more fabulous.
