New for 2025!
The Snow Gaymes are a fun team competition taking place during European Snow Pride 2025, and are accessible at no extra cost with the Standard Event Pass (prior registration required on Saturday, March 15, the day of arrival, with our Customer Service).
The events
The competition consists of 6 events taking place from Sunday to Friday on and off the slopes. The events will be contested individually by team or by team as follows:
Individual team events
Each team designates one of its members to take part in the following events. The same member can only take part in one event.
- Snow tubbing: grouped descent in buoys, on a specially prepared slope.
- Parallel slalom: downhill 2 by 2, on a specially prepared slope.
- Karaoke: perform your favorite songs.
- Drag race: an easy run down the track in drag costume.
Team event
- Best costumes: during the Pride evening, our jury will award a prize to the team whose members all wear the best costume.
- Riddle: a riddle will be given to each team at the beginning of the week, and they will have the whole week to try and solve it.
Apart from the parallel slalom, the events do not require any particular level of skiing/snowboarding and will take place at the bottom of the pistes or off-piste outside lift opening hours.
