The Best Party In Boulder Returns October 2 At The Limelight Hotel
BOULDER—The 56th Annual University of Colorado Ski Ball is remaining in Boulder and registration is now open!
Get your tickets now for the best party in Boulder, set for Friday, October 2, for the second straight year at the Limelight Hotel on the corner of Broadway and University adjacent to campus.
Help us celebrate the ski team and join us for dinner, dancing and an exclusive silent auction showcasing our outstanding partnerships across the ski community and around Boulder. This year carries special meaning as we welcome back the classes of 1976-77, 2001-02 and 2016-17 for milestone reunions—50, 25 and 10 years of Buffs ski tradition under one roof. One team. One night. One tradition.
College athletics is at a crossroads, and the ski team needs your support more than ever to continue to compete for and win championships on and off the snow. Aside from purchasing tickets and attending, you can further your support in many ways, including becoming a table sponsor, donating an item for the silent auction, or donating additional money directly to the ski team.
The Limelight Hotel has become one of the go-to hotel options in Boulder, especially on game days, and is right next to campus. We've secured a limited Ski Ball room block, but because this is Homecoming weekend, we expect Boulder hotels to sell out fast—and rates to climb. Please book your stay SOON to lock in your room at our block rate. Be sure after you register to secure your room and make it a full weekend—stay to watch the football team take on defending Big 12 Champion Texas Tech the following day.
Registration closes September 11. Don't wait—reserve your spot today, and stay tuned in the coming weeks as we announce this year's special honorees.
