Wintersköl, Aspen’s annual winter celebration, is going on this weekend, January 12-15.

This celebration of cold and snow features more than 40 events that take place in downtown Aspen and at all four ski areas: Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass Mountain. Events include the Canine Fashion Show, Snowmass Splash, the Fashion Show, the Buttermilk Uphill Race, Wintersculpt, and a torchlight descent and fireworks over Aspen Mountain.

This year marks the 55th Wintersköl, which started in 1951 when local Aspenites celebrated its Nordic lifestyle with a weekend full of festivities which were comprised mostly of floorshows at local taverns. Today, Wintersköl is an elaborate, well-organized festival with corporate sponsors and international talent.
