HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR LGBTQ YOUTH!

Most of us live in big cities, urban areas where we have LGBTQ centers, robust communities, and support systems. If you’re a kid growing up in a small town in a conservative state, you’re not so lucky. Elevation is a proud supporter of Encircle. Encircle Homes are mini-LGBTQ centers in those small towns, and they provide mental health services, support groups and community programs for youth, young adults and their families.

Encircle currently has four homes in Utah, in Provo, St George, Salt Lake City and in Heber, just a few miles from where we celebrate Elevation Utah.

Elevation believes in the mission of Encircle and will match your donation, up to $5000!

Here are some sexy and fun reasons to follow these IG handles...most importantly because NONE of Elevation would have been possible without our amazing partners:

• Mistr joined the Elevation family this year, and we couldn’t be happier to not only welcome them, but remind everyone that free STI testing from home and PrEP delivered to your door is an online consult away. Follow them for info and fun sexual health facts.

• Hampton Water Rosé is Jesse and Jon Bon Jovi’s award-winning Rose and Elevation was their first engagement with the LGBTQ community. Obviously they had a blast, and we had so much fun with them. Follow to rosé all day.

• Tom of Finland Vodka is a long-running Elevation sponsor. Not only is the bottle (and brand) sexy as hell, but they are a 100% organic, award-winning vodka distilled and bottled in Finland. Follow them to order (and see tons of sexy portraits of the hottest men around.)

• Visit Mammoth, Mammoth Mountain and the IKON PASS are the three sponsors of the event that TRULY make everything possible. They not only love this event, they support the event and make every on-mountain event activation possible. They are the reason why Elevation Mammoth continues to thrive, so support them (and the Village at Mammoth) throughout the year. Also, Elevation will ALWAYS be at IKON destinations.

• Queerty is our fabulous media partner that we return to year after year. Follow them to stay up on LGBTQ pop culture and news.

• Visit Key West is a new sponsor, and just the place you should consider as the snow melts and you’re looking for a summer destination as gay as Mammoth during Elevation. Follow for vacation inspo.

2 of 6. I want to thank all of the beautiful humans who packed the Elevation 2024 events. We had an amazing year in both Utah and Mammoth, with storms that broke into sunny bluebird days during both weeks.

But even more important than the snow conditions were the ways you all showed up. You came with a friendly Elevation attitude, open to meeting new people and making new friends. That spirit of community is the real reason I continue to produce this event year after year. You came together to party, to ski and snowboard, to celebrate our LGBTQ community, and to make the kind of connections that (I guarantee) will last a lifetime.

I’m sure that we each have different highlights and memories from Elevation 2024, but here are a few of my HIGHLIGHTS from UTAH:

On Friday at 9:20pm, all of Main Street went dark! Right as we were starting the Glow Party, a city wide power outage. Does that stop the g**s from partying? Absolutely not. With a big ass Bluetooth speaker and your light-up LED bracelets and shoes and harnesses, we kept the party going until the power returned just after 10pm. That night ended up being one of the most iconic event nights I’ve ever experienced, as everyone cheered when the lights came on and we careened full force into a balls-to-the-wall Glow Party with DJ GSP at the helm.

The amazing DJ Alexis Tucci had her debut at Elevation 2024 and turned out not only our awesome new venue O’Shuck’s WHITE HOUSE for Friday’s Flashback & Lumberjack Après-Ski, but also took us on a journey through the biggest Gear Party at Elevation Utah ever.

The new venue at Silver Lake Lodge was a huge hit for the Gear Party! Unending props to Deer Valley Resort for being such a great partner to our LGBTQ community.

The inimitable RPDR Season 13’s Utica Queen gave us fashion AND a Barbie moment, in the strangest, loveliest way possible. Local queens Lady Facade and Nancy Raygun served the Glow and Onesie Party with SLC drag excellence.

Elevation OG DJs Dawna Montell and Josh Peace repeatedly took our problems to the dance floor. Vocal, fun, funky, high-energy house and dance music with a heart.

What were your highlights?

Sappiness Alert: I don’t exaggerate when I say that Elevation filled my heart to bursting with gratitude this year. Yes, it was beyond exhausting. I felt like I might go into a coma the Monday after each event. Elevation Utah had a power outage, a snowstorm and the biggest Saturday night ever. Elevation Mammoth had 14 events over 5 days, a snowstorm, 11 dancers, 4 drag queens, and more than 2000 attendees. No wonder I wanted to collapse.

BUT, throughout the events, so many people came up to me to say thank you - to tell me that this community and this event meant something to them. They had made connections, they looked forward to it each year. Maybe they met their partner, or they felt a sense of belonging, they looked forward to gathering at Elevation every year. If they were new to the event, generally they said something like “I didn’t get it, but now I do. This is something special.”

In the moment, I appreciated each of those comments. But I was so busy that it wasn’t until after Mammoth that I had a moment to really process them in their entirety. How f*cking lucky and privileged am I to be able to work on something that makes people feel like they belong, like they have community, enough that they pull me aside to tell me their feelings? Sometimes they are friends who know me, but more often than not they are strangers or casual acquaintances.

It has been a challenging year for me personally since Elevation 2023, but the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024 was full of soul-expanding moments that had started to restore my heart. And the attendees of Elevation 2024, through their appreciation and reminders of what is important in life – connection, love, community and joy – finished that project and have brought me life, literally. And I am beyond grateful.

I’m going to post a series of images and thoughts and shoutouts from Elevation 2024. Forgive me for the sappiness...nah, I take that back. I’m gonna lean into the gratitude. 🙏🏻 ⛷️ 🏳️‍🌈 🏂 ❄️
