The era of the standard, sleepy après-ski is officially over. ⛷️
And just in time for the end of the ski season, one of Brooklyn’s heavyweights is heading north next month to help turn the slopes into a full-blown alpine rave.
Gather Outdoors is the brand-new, two-day music and mountain culture festival hitting Stratton Mountain, Vermont, on April 11 and 12, 2026.
It is being billed as the ultimate high-energy sendoff to the ski season, combining heavy-hitting electronic music with the crisp air of the Green Mountains.
Since it’s located only about four hours from NYC, it is the perfect excuse to ditch the city and get your last taste of fresh powder before the spring!
The lineup is a heavy-duty mix of live jam bands and cutting-edge electronic acts. Y
ou can expect three different performances from jam icons The Disco Biscuits, along with sets from STS9, Crankdat, and a special sunset performance from Daily Bread.
For the house and techno heads who usually spend their weekends at Teksupport’s legendary warehouse parties, the second stage is where you’ll want to be.
Curated by the Teksupport team itself, this stage features global heavyweights like CamelPhat, Adam Ten, CHASEWEST, Ranger Trucco, and more.
You won’t have to choose between skiing and the music—this festival is built for both.
Music kicks off at 3 pm each day, meaning you can spend the morning on the slopes before the base transforms into a massive dance floor.
By sunset, the base of the mountain turns into a full-blown open-air rave, with the Vermont peaks as your backdrop.
As the sun dips behind the Vermont peaks, the production levels will go up, bringing that signature NYC underground energy to the wilderness.
Stratton Mountain is one of the best spots in the Northeast for a ski getaway.
The village is famously walkable, the views are panoramic, and the vibes are unmatched when the weather starts to turn.
If you want to make a full mission out of it, the festival is offering curated packages that bundle your lift access with lodging at the Black Bear Lodge, which is located right by the action.
Tickets are available in single-day or two-day options, alongside VIP/backstage upgrades too!
You can head to DICE right now and grab them so you can make sure you’re on the mountain when the bass drops.
