Sally and Mandy Whitewoods took on the event completely for the first time this year. Sally said the couple proved themselves as organisers, as feedback on the event had been "nothing but positive" from those taking part and those watching.
"It's been brilliant, it's been amazing. I'm knackered and my voice is fading.
"It has been an incredible week," Sally Whitewoods said.
The week was well-supported by both locals and visitors from the gay community.
"Everyone really enjoyed it and everyone I have spoken to has said they will be back next year. It's only going to get bigger and better from here.
"I think Queenstown has really enjoyed it. You wouldn't want to have it anywhere else," she said.
"We've pretty much got most of next year organised, but we won't say too much just yet."
While numbers were not official, as many came to Queenstown for atmosphere without partaking in official events, Mrs Whitewoods was positive they had met their quota of 1000-plus visitors.
"We were aiming for a 1000, and I think we easily got that.
The two parties, both opening and closing, were sold out on the night, and they're all coming back. There wasn't one low in the whole week."
She planned to change a few 2013 Gay Ski Week events to keep things "fresh". She would be open to ideas from the public.
This year, on top of skiing and boarding every day at Cardrona, guests took part in a Rocky Horror night at Dorothy Brown's Cinema, Arrowtown, a winery tour, enjoyed an "Adrenaline Day", attended the Casino Royale gala evening at Skyline and last night sang karaoke.
