Aspen's 59th Annual
Winterskol Celebration, Jan. 14 - 17, 2010
Nearly 30 FREE &
NEARLY FREE Activities + Discounted Lodging
2010 Slogan - "Epic Steeps and Decades Deep"
Wintersköl™, Aspen's spirited toast to snow,
celebrates another white winter Jan. 14 - 17,
2010, with four days of free and nearly free
events and activities for the whole family.
Wintersköl dates back to a quiet January in 1951
when the ski lifts closed after the holiday
rush. Today, Aspen's lifts stay open, town is
abuzz, and locals and visitors continue to
rejoice in this lively tribute to winter fun.
This year's slogan, "Epic Steeps and Decades
Deep" reflects Aspen's rich skiing heritage and
optimism for epic snowfall during winter
2009/2010.
In the spirit of community, event organizers and
the Aspen Chamber Resort Association aim to keep
Wintersköl's nearly 30 events and activities
low-cost or free. In addition, several
Aspen/Snowmass lodges are offering discounted
accommodations during this year's Wintersköl
celebration.
