CLEAR CREEK COUNTY, CO – Every Valentine’s Day, Loveland Ski Area celebrates that crazy little thing called Love with a mass wedding ceremony, attended by brides and grooms dressed to chill—and to ski.
This year, 115 couples tied the knot at the 33rd Annual Mountaintop Matrimony ceremony in Forest Meadow, and the only thing more breathtaking than the sheer amount of love present at the time of their nuptials, was the elevation, which, at 11,215 feet, was enough to take the breath away from those in attendance—and those attending the couples in attendance. Fifteen of those 115 devoted twosomes exchanged vows for the first time, and 100—a perfectly apt number of Centennial State residents—renewed their vows.
Following the ceremony, the newlyweds skied and rode down the mountain and gathered for an après-ski party. The highlight was the best-dressed couple competition, with the winning couple earning a romantic honeymoon getaway at the Clear Creek Inn and dinner at Coopers on the Creek in Georgetown, Colorado.
