Wintersköl is considered Aspen’s “toast to winter”. An annual event that dates back to a quiet January in 1951 when locals decided to celebrate Aspen’s unique alpine lifestyle with an eclectic weekend of festivities. We continue the festivities today as the four-day celebration features on-mountain activities, snow sculptures, a torchlight descent down Aspen Mountain, fireworks, and more!
