A Guide To Closing Day Celebrations At Aspen Snowmass
Grom or granny, local or visitor, we’d like to thank you for skiing with us this season!
Snow has been falling consistently in recent weeks and with the four mountains of Aspen Snowmass firing on all cylinders, the end of the ski season feels far away. But we’re surely guaranteed sun and slush bumps in the coming weeks, marking the return of spring skiing. Spring also means the always-coveted closing-day celebrations that help wrap the season up with a bang are just around the corner. Here’s where to celebrate before the snow disappears.
Buttermilk – March 31
Aspen Highlands – April 7
From first chair until the last call, the locals bring the party for this one. Mismatched costumes, snow blades, and thrifted sunglasses are a must across the entire mountain on Highlands’ closing day. Cloud Nine is sure to be popping, Merry-Go-Round will have specials and a DJ, and the Highlands Alehouse at the base of the mountain is the spot to be after you take your last Bowl lap of the year.
Extra busses will be running from Rubey Park in Aspen throughout the day and shuttles will be available from Brush Creek Park & Ride until 2pm
Snowmass – April 13
Snowmass has plenty of terrain above 10,000 feet, so the snow here lasts later into the season. If you like spring corn skiing and riding, this is your spot once the lower zones start to melt out. For a full end-of-season bash, check out the always-entertaining Elk Camp Surf & Snow Beach Party going down on the Saturday of Snowmass' closing weekend. From 11am until 3pm, you can see brave skiers and riders tempt a 40-degree bath in their ski gear. After you’ve watched the pond skimmers sink or swim, swing by the Elk Camp patio where the party will continue with DJ Naka G, hot tubs and food and beverage specials all afternoon.
Don’t ski? Gondola foot passes up to Elk Camp are FREE after 12pm so you can join the party!
Snowmass—April 14
Celebrate Snowmass’ final day of the season with laps on Big Burn and DJ sets on the deck at Ullrhof. From 11am until 3:30pm, spring revelers can enjoy tunes and food and drink specials. Toast another incredible season at Ullrhof with family and friends before making your final laps on our largest mountain.
