Aspen, Colorado, is a destination known internationally for winter sports. Home to world-class ski resorts like Aspen Mountain, Snowmass, and Buttermilk, visitors flock like birds each winter to Aspen so they can enjoy the amazing powder on the slopes. Colorado’s sunny weather makes skiing or snowboarding at these resorts incredibly pleasant, and visitors to Aspen during the month of January will also have the added bonus of being there during the annual X Games, which are hosted each year at Buttermilk Ski Area. Visitors in Aspen can watch some of the best athletes in the world at the X Games before heading to a resort to try out some of those moves for themselves.
