From January 23–25, 2026, Aspen’s Buttermilk Mountain will once again host the legendary X Games, marking its 25th consecutive year as the event’s winter home. Known for pushing boundaries in snow sports, the X Games draw the world’s top ski and snowboard athletes for competitions in Big Air, SuperPipe, and Slopestyle — plus live music and high-energy fan experiences.
“Aspen’s where winter sports legends are made and boundaries are unlimited,” said Jeremy Bloom, X Games CEO. “We’re excited to build on this legacy and unite fans and athletes for another unforgettable year.”
Expectations are high after 2025’s groundbreaking feats, when Hiroto Ogiwara and Miro Tabanelli landed the first-ever 2340s in competition. As John Rigney of Aspen One noted, “X Games is the gold standard of action sports” — and its return to Aspen reflects a lasting commitment to innovation, excellence, and community.
The 2026 event is anticipated to continue its tradition of free general admission, allowing fans to witness outstanding athletes push the boundaries of what’s possible on snow. VIP packages — typically including access to heated viewing areas, private bars, and exclusive après events — are also expected to be offered.
In addition to the thrilling competitions, visitors will enjoy:
Buttermilk Mountain’s compact layout makes it ideal for spectators, ensuring minimal walking between venues and excellent sightlines — but also creating parking and traffic bottlenecks, particularly on peak event days.
If you’re new to the X Games or visiting Aspen in winter for the first time, preparation is key. Temperatures can drop well below freezing, especially in the evenings when headlining events and concerts take place. Here’s what to keep in mind:
Aspen’s altitude can also surprise first-time visitors. Be sure to stay hydrated and pace yourself, especially if you’re coming from lower elevations.
Large-scale events like the X Games create intense traffic surges on local roads, particularly Highway 82 and Owl Creek Road — the main artery to Buttermilk. Even experienced locals often avoid driving during peak hours.
