Winter X Games – Aspen

FacebookTwitter

Each January the world’s best winter athletes descend upon Aspen for the Winter X Games. They’ve been competing for medals and prize money for over 20 years. There are various competitions for skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling.

Hosted by ESPN, the first Winter X Games was held in 1997 at Mountain Resort in Big Bear Lake, CA. The following two years took place in Crested Butte, and then another two years in Mount Snow, VT. And since 2002, the games have found a longstanding home on Aspen’s Buttermilk Mountain.
