FAQ's

A LITTLE BOOT TAN FYI

Boot Tan Fest is happening. Snow or no snow.

Last year proved something pretty special: we don’t need a mountain full of snow to bring a mountain full of badass women together. Boot Tan is a celebration of womanhood in the mountains—friendship, freedom, music, creativity, and making a little magic together.

If the lifts are spinning, we’ll ski and ride till our legs feel like jelly. If they aren’t, we’ll make our own damn fun. The festival, the community, and the party go on.

Because our festival costs don’t disappear when the snow does, all tickets are non-refundable. See below for answers to the questions we get most.

Boot Tan Fest Tickets

What does my all access pass include?

Your Boot Tan ticket gets you three days of mountain-town mayhem, music, creativity, and badass women. Here’s what’s in store:

FRIDAY NIGHT

  • Live music
  • Boot Tan’s Got Talent — sing, dance, tell jokes, do something weird. We want to see you shine.
  • Festival programming + good old-fashioned shenanigans

Camping is available as a $20 add-on per person.

SATURDAY

  • DJs, live music + performances
  • Yoga + meditation
  • Tailgate competition + party
  • Vendor Village
  • Fashion Show
  • Giveaways
  • Lodge access

SUNDAY MORNING

  • Free Buck Wild Coffee
  • Yoga
  • Live music + journaling
  • One last morning of hanging out with your favorite humans

Three days. One mountain. A whole lot of fun.

Can I Refund My Ticket?

Refunds? Nope. Transfers? Absolutely.

Boot Tan Fest is a small, independent festival run by a tiny team of very committed badasses. Once you buy your ticket, that money goes straight toward making the festival happen—from booking artists and performers to production, programming, staff, and all the wonderfully chaotic details that make Boot Tan, Boot Tan.

Because so much of that magic has to be committed to long before festival weekend, all ticket sales are final and non-refundable.

But life happens. Plans change. Your cousin gets married on the exact same weekend. You accidentally book a trip to Bali. We get it.

Tickets can be transferred to another person. So if you can’t make it, find your replacement, pass along your ticket, and keep the party going.

No refunds. No panic. Just pass the boots.

The Event

When does the festival actually end?

The magic wraps up on Sunday, April 11th, at 12 PM, after we slow things down with a guided journaling practice, enjoy some Buck Wild Coffee, and listen to live music. The perfect way to cap off an unforgettable weekend!

The Naked Truth: Tell me more about this ‘naked lap’ thing...

Ah yes, the infamous naked lap! It's totally optional, but we dare you to be your boldest self and experience full frontal freedom ;) 

We suggest bringing a robe (or you can grab a Boot Tan Fest one for purchase), and embrace the thrill of riding the slopes in true Buck Wild style! An experience you'll never forget & the highlight for all. 

Skiing & Riding: Lifts, Anyone?

On Saturday, from 10 AM to 3 PM, the lifts are all ours. Only Boot Tan Fest attendees will be on the slopes. Time to shred with the crew!

Can I ski 24/7?!

For the hardcore uphill skiers—YES! Uphill ski access is available around the clock, so if you’re feeling like a sunrise or moonlit climb, you can get after it any time.

Is Camping Included?

Not quite! Camping is a $20 add-on per person.

That $20 goes straight toward the glamorous stuff that makes sleeping at a festival actually enjoyable: porta potties, trash removal, lighting, staff, tampons, period products, and all the behind-the-scenes magic that keeps camp happy and functional.

Basically, your $20 helps us make sure you can sleep, pee, clean up, and party responsibly.

Add camping to your ticket, park your ride, and let the good times roll.

Is it going to be cold?

Let’s just say, you’re going to get the full winter camping in a ski resort parking lot experience. It will be cold. Bring your van, truck, zero-degree sleeping bags, and all the warm clothes you own. Practice being hard-core with us!

Food & Drink: Fuel for the Festivities

Of course! The lodge will be open as usual, serving up food and drinks, and we’ll also have more food trucks on-site to satisfy all your cravings.

Is the festival novice friendly?

Heck yeah! Sunlight Mountain Resort has terrain for all ability levels - Don't ski? We still encourage you to come for the community and entertainment!

Will there be skills clinics?

Yes! We are working on programming for 2027. 


Otherwise, this is purely for playing around with new & old friends on skis & snowboards. 

Does anyone ever join the festival solo?

Hell yeah, they do! Sometimes that’s the best way to meet new friends :) We want you there!

Are non-binary & trans folks welcome?

Absolutely. All women and nonbinary folks over the age of 21 who are comfortable in women-focused spaces are welcome to join the festival. Not sure what this means? Get more info here.

Can my dog come to the festival or campground?

We love dogs, but due to the insanity that would ensue, we ask that you leave your pups at home.

What if it snows or the weather is crummy?

The festival will go on as scheduled and we will practice being hardcore.

What is camping like?

Camping is $20 per person. You can purchase this separately or with your all access ticket. 

This is WINTER camping. It’s cold, it’s diehard, and it’s fun! Come prepared. Sleeping in your Subaru? You’ll need a 0-degree bag & plenty of warm clothes. Vans & campers are highly encouraged.

What do I need to bring with me?

Make sure that you have all of your ski/board gear (rentals are NOT available), water, snacks, and anything else that you would bring on a normal day at a ski resort!
