Kickoff & Apres-Ski

Kickoff & Après-Ski – February 1, 2026

Where Black Joy Meets the Slopes

We’re kicking off BLK WinterFest 2026 with a full-day celebration at Mont Tremblant ski resort. With a live DJ, beginner lessons and SnowPro Guides (for participants who don’t require lessons), we’ll lead you through beginner to advanced trails (you select your preferred trail and level), as we ensure every rider, new or seasoned, feels supported, confident, and excited to ride.

Whether you’re carving the slopes, soaking in the views, or heading straight to après-ski, this is where winter begins with purpose and fun.

Note: Adults-only event.
