Wintersköl

December 10-13, 2026 | Around town and on mountain | Free and Ticketed Events

Since 1951, Aspen has welcomed winter with the rich tradition of Wintersköl—a four-day celebration of snow, community, and mountain life. This year, December 10–13, guests can enjoy torchlight descents on Aspen Mountain, live music in Wanger Park, SoupSköl™, bonfires, fireworks, and snow sculptures. The festival spans all four mountains—Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk, and Snowmass—offering early-season skiing for every level. Enjoy $103 lift tickets when you book through Stay Aspen Snowmass and also come celebrate our 80th Anniversary December 12 – 13 with $80 lift tickets across all four mountains. Visitors can expect a mix of festive energy, local tradition, and stoke from first chair to après. Wintersköl is the perfect way to start the season, connect with the community, and experience winter the Aspen way. We are working on this year’s schedule of events.
