Ceremony
10:00 AM
The ceremony will be held at 10 o'clock (yes, in the morning) at the top of the gondola. Please arrive at the base by 9:30 to give yourself time to ride the gondola and grab a warm drink before the ceremony begins.
Non-skiers DO NOT need to purchase a lift ticket. Our wedding planner, Morgan, will meet you at the gondola to give you a ticket.
Please come in warm clothes or your ski outfits if you'll be joining us on the slopes after the ceremony.
Celebration on the Slopes
11:00 AM to 3:30 PM
After the ceremony, we're planning on skiing for the afternoon! If this isn't your cup of tea, please see the travel page for a list of activities and restaurant options.
If you'd like to join us on the slopes, please purchase a lift ticket for the day (or an Ikon pass if you want to ski for 4 or more days while you're in town.) Generally, Steamboat offers a heavily discounted Spring 4-pack around February, or we can get folks a 25% discount with our Ikon passes.
Reception

This is the hotel closest to our reception, however, room availability is limited because the other hotel at the base is closed for renovations. We're seeing rooms pop up sporadically, so it's worth looking if you want to be close to the party,
