The Naked Truth: The Famous Naked LapTell me more about this ‘naked lap’ thing...
Ah yes, the infamous naked lap! It’s totally optional, but if you’re feeling bold, it’s happening at 12:30 PM on Friday. We suggest bringing a robe (or you can grab a Boot Tan Fest one), and embrace the thrill of riding the slopes in true Buck Wild style!
Skiing & Riding: Private Lifts, Anyone?When will the lifts be open?
On Friday, from 10 AM to 3 PM, the lifts are all ours. That’s right, it’s a private event—only women and femmes who are Boot Tan Fest attendees will be on the slopes. Time to shred with the crew!

Is it going to be cold?

Are non-binary & trans folks welcome?
Absolutely. All women and femme folk over the age of 21 are welcome to join the festival.
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?
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 available), water, snacks, and anything else that you would bring on a normal day at a ski resort!
