Imagine an Aspen vacation without packing the skis. It may seem unusual, but it happens all the time.

The Colorado resort town offers so much more to do besides skiing. A wealth of diverse activities is why Aspen and nearby Snowmass are popular destinations for Cirrus Aviation travelers who are looking for a fun winter vacation.

Even if you have your heart set on the slopes, save some time to take advantage of some of the area’s other attractions.

Enjoy ice skating, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, fat biking (wide tire biking), fly fishing and more amid a backdrop of scenic snow-covered mountains and historic architecture. With dining at scores of fantastic restaurants featuring every type of cuisine and world class shopping, you’re sure to have a vacation to remember.

Any list of attractions at Aspen or Snowmass is going to be lengthy, but here are a few highlights that are sure to stoke your desire to get away.

Ullr Nights

Named after the Norse god of snow, this family-friendly celebration of winter happens every Friday at Elk Camp in Snowmass. Participate in snow tubing, ice skating, slides and snow biking or watch fire dancers and enjoy live music while munching on s’mores near a bonfire.

X Games

Intense snowboarding, snowmobiling and skiing competitions take place over four wild days in January. After watching some of the world’s best athletes during the day, unwind with acts like Twenty One Pilots and deadmau5 on stage at night.

Torchlight Parade

Be part of a trail of light down Fanny Hill in Snowmass. It’s the perfect way to spend a magical New Year’s Eve with loved ones.

Silver Queen Gondola

Probably the best (and surely the easiest) way to reach the top of Aspen Mountain. Spectacular views, multiple dining opportunities and snowshoe trails await you at the summit.
