Wintersköl (Aspen, Colorado)

Wintersköl, or Aspen’s annual “toast to winter”, will return in 2023 for the 72nd year in a row. Its first edition took place in January 1951, when locals decided to celebrate this town’s unique alpine lifestyle by having a broad-ranging weekend of festivities.

The four-day winter festival, which still takes place in January, has an event schedule listing snow sculptures, mountain activities, fireworks, and a torchlight descent down Aspen Mountain, among other happenings. Each day of this next edition will bring all-day demonstrations of snow sculptures along Aspen’s Mill Street Mall. The pieces of work will be created by Colorado artist Thomas Barlow.
