2015 X Games in Aspen This Thursday-Sunday

Perhaps one of the largest and coolest ski and snowboard competitions in the world, the 2015 X Games is back and will take place at Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen on Thursday, January 22 through Sunday, January 25. 200 of the world’s best athletes and 100 Olympians will compete for medals and prize money, along with festival activities and music that is better this year than ever before.

If you’ve never been to the X Games before, we suggest packing your MINI today and heading up the mountain this week for a snow competition like none other. The competitions are all free and open to the public, but the concerts, Major League Gaming, and suite packages are sold separately.
