Aspen’s annual “toast to winter,” dates to a quiet January in 1951 when locals decided to celebrate Aspen’s unique alpine lifestyle with an eclectic weekend of festivities. The four-day celebration features on-mountain activities, snow sculptures, a torchlight descent down Aspen Mountain, fireworks and more.
All events are subject to change. Please check back frequently for updates.

FREE! Aspen History 101 and Aspen Extreme at Wintersköl
Kick off the Wintersköl™ weekend with Aspen History 101 and a screening of Aspen Extreme. Aspen History 101, a theatrical crash course in local lore, was born from the no-credit, all-fun college of the Rockies, also known as the Aspen State Teachers College. The performance resurrects the party-loving atmosphere of Aspen State Teachers College, arguably one of the more entertaining aspects of area history! The evening ends with a screening of the iconic 1993 film Aspen Extreme. Come join us for Aspen History 101, the film screening, or both!
Aspen History 101, 5:30 p.m. (theatrical performance)
