A Guide To Closing Day Celebrations At Aspen Snowmass
T-shirts, jean shorts, and retro sunglasses—or a ridiculous costume. You can't go wrong with closing day attire!
Longer days and warmer temps signal the return of spring skiing — think soft turns, bluebird afternoons, and that unbeatable on-mountain energy. Spring also means the always-coveted closing-day celebrations are just around the corner, wrapping up the season with a bang. Here’s where to celebrate before the lifts stop spinning.
Snowmass - April 11
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 Snow Beach Party going down on the Saturday of Snowmass' closing weekend. Elk Camp will host a high-energy après party featuring live DJs and hot tubs. The Elk Camp Gondola will be free for foot passengers starting at 12pm.
Please note: While the official closing party takes place Saturday, April 11, Snowmass will remain open for skiing and riding through Sunday, April 12. Close out the season with one final day on the mountain—no party required, just spring turns and bluebird views.
Aspen Highlands- April 12
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, a DJ, and of course a mechanical bull, 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.
