Before you give it up for Lent this year, go wild and go West for a little Mardi Gras madness. Colorado is home to some world-class ski and snowboard destinations, and they’re also hotspots for entertainment. This year’s Mardi Gras season delivers live music, street parties, and parades miles above the rest. Why not hit the slopes and then descend into a village block party? Be sure to add a bit of flare to your favorite ski outfit—a purple wig or feather boa should do the trick. Flaunt your beads and feast on New Orleans gumbo and crawfish—mmm mmm finger-lickin’ good. Then, get ready to dance the night away. If you’re looking for a grand old time, these ski towns take Mardi Gras to a whole new level.
