A Four-Mountain Guide to Closing Day
Stay Tuned for 25/26 Closing Day Celebrations
As the ski season comes to an end, enjoy final turns, good company, and outdoor fun at the upcoming closing day celebrations.
Check out our Aspen Snowmass closing day guide to close out the 24/25 season in style.
Buttermilk Mountain (April 6th)
Closing day celebrations kick off at Buttermilk with the annual bacon appreciation day, outdoor music, and of course, plenty of time to ride. Start your day in the plaza by indulging in doughnuts and bacon. With bacon stations located across the mountain, riders can enjoy a savory snack before taking off on their next run. Buttermilk Mountain Lodge, found at the base, and the Cliffhouse, located at the top, both feature stunning mountain views and outdoor seating. These on-mountain dining spots will offer drinks and host DJs as the celebration continues throughout the day. Don’t forget to bring your best spring ski attire!
Aspen Highlands (April 13th)
Costumes and party scenes are staples on closing day at Aspen Highlands. With three on-mountain restaurants hosting celebrations and no shortage of eye-catching outfits, get ready for an action-packed day. Cloud Nine, an on-mountain bistro known for champagne sprays and DJs, is sure to be a closing day hot spot. The Merry-Go-Round, located at the top of Exhibition Lift, will host a DJ and offer specials. With views from the bottom of the mountain, end the season at Aspen Highlands by grabbing a bite at the Highlands Alehouse.
Snowmass Mountain (April 19th & 20th)
On April 19th, the annual Elk Camp Surf & Snow Beach Party returns. Party goers will enjoy lively music and decorative leis, along with margarita blender bikes, hot tubs, and the pond skim challenge. Adventurous skiers or snowboarders can attempt to speed across the pond without falling in, providing entertainment for onlookers. Whether you prefer relaxation or an adrenaline rush, this beach themed closing day party offers fun for everyone. On April 20th, skiers and snowboarders can carve their final turns of the season on Snowmass. From smooth groomers to steep terrain, closing day at Snowmass offers fun for skiers of all abilities.
Aspen Mountain (April 20th)
With views of downtown Aspen and soft, slushy conditions, closing day at Aspen Mountain is the place to be. Like closing day at Aspen Highlands, mixed and matched ski attire and random costumes are part of the fun. Located at the top of Aspen Mountain, the Sundeck is an on-mountain restaurant with panoramic mountain views. After carving final turns, there’s no better way to end the season than drinking bubbly and dancing at the Sundeck.
Enjoy the closing day events, but please remember to celebrate responsibly. While it’s hard to say goodbye to ski season, there are other outdoor adventures and events to explore this spring in Aspen.
