Snowdown Kick-off Party & Theme Announcement

Join us for the ultimate Snowdown kickoff! The 45th annual Snowdown Durango begins on January 26, 2024, with the theme “Peace, Love, and Snowdown.” We will announce next year’s theme on January 28th! Gather with fellow enthusiasts from Durango and the Four Corners region to revel in this cherished winter tradition! Join us this Sunday to unveil the theme for Snowdown 2025!

Event Schedule:

This event, as silly as it is, has the potential to draw significant numbers.  For whatever reason, people really want to know right away what next year’s theme for Snowdown is going to be, and this is the first place that it gets announced.  So, spreading the word could draw a crowd.  Plus, it’s a costume event, and you know how this town likes costumes.

12:45pm – Meet at Lift 1 for the Snowdown costume parade – Peace, Love, Snowdown themed costumes highly encouraged

12:50pm – Load lift

1:00pm – Gather at top of Lift 1 – look for the guy with the boombox leading the parade – we’ll take the easiest route down

1:15 – 2:30pm – Join in for lots of shenanigans at the Bear Bar/Purgy’s patio.  We will have fun games/competitions with cool Snowdown prizes that you can’t get anywhere else.  For example, a pepper-eating contest where the prize is that you get to be a judge at the Snowdown chili cookoff the following weekend.  There will also be lots of announcements/info about Snowdown events later in the week. And lastly, OF COURSE, at some point the 2025 theme will be revealed.
