Spring is on the horizon, but winter isn’t over in Aspen. The iconic ski destination just hit 300 inches of snow on the heels of four straight months of above average snowfall, prompting Aspen to extend the seasons on Highlands until April 16 and Ajax until April 24.
Not only are March and April typically Aspen’s snowiest months, they’re also among the most beautiful. Aprés season arrives with bluebird skies, sundeck parties and epic conditions. ASPENX offers unforgettable experiences you cannot get anywhere else, like private snowcat trips with expert guides, cocktails and light bites at 11,000 feet at ASPENX Beach Club, elevated dining at remote Buckhorn Cabin (reachable by snow cat), and private winter table dining experiences with Chef Matthew Zubrod.
ASPENX Beach Club
The classic Aspen aprés experience is elevated at ASPENX Beach Club, located atop a private plateau on Aspen Mountain with breathtaking views of Highland Bowl and the Elk Range. Created in partnership with Gray Malin and hosted by Burgess Yachts, Beach Club gathers the best of sand and snow under signature striped cabanas, providing revelers with cocktails, light bites, and a live DJ. ASPENX Beach Club is open Friday through Sunday from noon to 3pm until April 16, 2023. Tickets are limited and available from $150 at www.aspenx.com.
Buckhorn Cabin Elevated Dining – Après Lunch & Cat
