Event Description
Wintersköl, Aspen's annual toast to winter, celebrates its 57th anniversary.
Wintersköl sums up the character of Aspen. Wintersköl features more
than 40 events in downtown Aspen and at all four ski areas: Aspen Mountain, Aspen
Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass Mountain. Favorites include the Fashion Show,
the Buttermilk Uphill Race, Wintersculpt, and a spectacular torchlight descent
and fireworks over Aspen Mountain.There are always a few surprises, too. Wintersköl
dates back to a quiet January in 1951 when local Aspenites decided to celebrate
Aspen's unique Nordic lifestyle with an eclectic weekend of festivities - mostly
floorshows at local taverns. As Aspen has grown and evolved into a world-class
resort, Wintersköl has matured into an elaborate, well-organized event with
major corporate sponsors and international talent. But the celebration retains
its purpose as a week of fun in the snow for residents and visitors.
