Wintersköl, Aspen's annual toast to winter, celebrates its 57th anniversary. From a wild and wacky Canine Fashion Show to the infamous Wintersköl Parade, Wintersköl sums up the character of Aspen. Wintersköl features more than 40 events in downtown Aspen and at all four ski areas: Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass Mountain. Favorites include the Canine Fashion Show, the Buttermilk Uphill Race, Wintersculpt, and a spectacular torchlight descent and fireworks over Aspen Mountain.There are always a few surprises, too.
Wintersköl dates back to a quiet January in 1951 when local Aspenites decided to celebrate Aspen's unique Nordic lifestyle with an eclectic weekend of festivities - mostly floorshows at local taverns. As Aspen has grown and evolved into a world-class resort, Wintersköl has matured into an elaborate, well-organized event with major corporate sponsors and international talent. But the celebration retains its purpose as a week of fun in the snow for residents and visitors.

With more than $5000 in total prize money, the competition for Wintersculpt is intense. This year, each of the six teams chosen will receive a cash award. Teams often work around the clock on Thursday and Friday of the event to transform their 8' x 8' x 8' snow cubes into freestanding sculptures by the Saturday morning judging. An independent panel of judges critique the sculptures on their originality, creativity, and technical excellence.
