Wintery Colorado might seem like an unusual location for a Mardi Gras celebration, but the resort town of Snowmass Village hosts one of the oldest Mardi Gras festivals in the Rocky Mountains. Since 1980, New Orleans natives have made a pilgrimage to Snowmass’ slopes for Fat Tuesday, bringing a hefty dose of purple, green and gold spirit with them. This year, in honor of New Orleans, Snowmass has planned one of its biggest bashes ever.

“This is our 24th 'official' year of Mardi Gras festivities, and we plan to make it one of the best parties of the season for the whole family,” says Susan Hamley, Marketing Director for the Town of Snowmass Village. “From mask-making for kids to crawdad boils, king cakes and late-night revelry, Snowmass offers the ultimate Mardi Gras mountain destination.”
