Experience the Aspen X-Games

Arrive in Aspen during the peak of winter for the next stop in your adventures in travel! The Colorado ski town will be lit ablaze with excitement, packed with professional and amateur athletes alike, and buzzing in preparation for one of the most electrifying sports events of the year. 

Once in Aspen, you will find your hotel and make sure to get a schedule of events for the Winter X-Games. Spend the night choosing all of the competitions, events, and concerts you want to attend before drifting off to sleep with dreams of carving through fresh powder.

With all of the snow sports you will be watching throughout the week, it would be a travesty not to take a few turns yourself! Whether you ski or snowboard, Aspen offers a beautiful mountain with a range of difficulties. Take the lift up and spend the day taking powder shots beneath the Colorado sky.

Don’t know how to ski or snowboard? Aspen offers plenty of educational opportunities, it’s never too late to take a lesson!

After a day of tearing up the mountain, enjoy some of the X-Games night-time excitement, whether watching an event or attending one of the many music shows!

After an exhilarating day of rushing down Aspen’s runs, on your third day you will go snowshoeing on one of Aspen’s many snowshoe trails. Enjoy a physically satisfying and breathtaking day of enjoying Aspen’s winter wilderness at a slower pace that will offer solace before returning to the intensity of the X-Games.

After all of the excitement of the X-Games, a full day of skiing, and a snowshoe expedition, take today to relax and enjoy the city of Aspen. Explore the town and take advantage of the many celebratory events surrounding the X-Games. The city will be filled with snow-sport vendors, sponsors, and friendly competition for you to participate in during and between events. Who knows, maybe you’ll even encounter one of the athletes!

Nicely recovered from your day of rest, go back to the slopes for another day of skiing. In the spirit of the X-Games, challenge yourself to do a run that puts you out of your comfort zone, or try something new. If you’re a first-time skier or snowboarder, today is another perfect opportunity for furthering your newfound skills!

After an exciting day of turns, trade your ski clothes for something that boosts your confidence and go out for a nice dinner with the glow of the X-Games lighting up the slopes in the distance.

Today is your day to give back! Wake up early to volunteer with Aspen’s Adaptive Snowsports program where you will help at an amazing program that teaches people with disabilities how to ski and snowboard. If you have not participated before, you will learn how to properly work as an Adaptive volunteer, an experience that is incredibly fun and fulfilling.  

When you have finished volunteering, spend your final night watching events, cheering, and laughing in the festive glow of the X-Games.

Wake up with a goggle-tan on your face with a deep breath that affirms you lived life to the fullest on your trip to the Aspen X-Games. Check out of your hotel and depart Aspen with a reminiscent grin that just won’t seem to depart your chapped lips.
