An Instagram Reel of this wedding actually went viral, with 91 million views and counting!

Courtney and Pat’s long-awaited dream of a Ski and Snowboard Wedding at Steamboat Ski Resort came true on 2/22/22! They got engaged while skiing together in March 2020 and had to postpone their wedding due to the pandemic. Courtney and Pat live in New Hampshire, but considered Switzerland and Colorado for their ski wedding. They decided on Steamboat Ski Resort in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and booked an awesome ski chalet right by the mountain.

On the day of their wedding, the weather forecast predicted a snowstorm and I totally expected a complete whiteout. However, they lucked out with the best ski weather: a beautiful sunny day with a fresh layer of powder!

Courtney and Pat met while on separate trips to Sunday River in Maine (where Pat eventually proposed), but weren’t able to ski together then. When they finally got a chance to ski and snowboard together a few months after dating, Courtney described it as a “make it or break it” moment. Courtney grew up ski racing and her parents are even part of a New Hampshire Ski Club, so skiing has always been a big part of her life. Evidently, she and Pat skied and boarded very well together!

Ski and Snowboard Wedding at Steamboat Ski Resort

After getting ready at their slope-side chalet, Pat, Courtney, and Courtney’s family skied a run all dressed in their wedding attire. For the ceremony, Pat snowboarded down to the mountain top ceremony where friends and family waited below. In ski wedding style, Courtney and her father skied down together taking synchronized turns. It was perfect! They had a sweet ceremony with epic views overlooking the valley.

Afterward, Courtney and Pat hit up the lodge with their guest for celebratory drinks. Then they skied a run with their “ski squad” who were all dressed to the nines in their wedding clothes! It was EPIC to see the best-dressed people on the mountain, skiing and snowboarding together!

Ski Wedding in Colorado

They ended their night back at their chalet with a delicious dinner, toasts, and special dances. Courtney, Pat, and their friends and family were so much fun to spend the day with! They kept me smiling and laughing all day long! Courtney and Pat’s ski wedding in Colorado couldn’t have been more perfect!

Curious about how a ski and snowboard couple spends their honeymoon? Courtney and Pat went heliskiing in Jackson Hole, WY! They had their honeymoon booked prior to their wedding date, so they went heliskiing before their wedding. Courtney and Pat are an incredible example of creating a wedding day that feels true to who they are!
