If you are missing the fun and activity of the holidays there is no need to fret, Aspen s 73rd annual Wintersköl returns on Thursday through Sunday with four days of events and celebrations.
The weather warming up and the snow getting slushy means one thing: the long winter season is finally coming to a close. Aspen Highlands and Snowmass will celebrate their final days of the season this weekend, with both slated to close on Sunday.

Skiers and snowboarders wanting to get in a late afternoon on the mountain Wednesday for St. Patrick’s Day can hit Aspen Highlands, which will run the Exhibition lift out of the base area until 6 p.m.
The mid-mountain Loge Peak lift will run until 5 p.m. and the Merry-Go-Round restaurant will be open until 6 p.m. with an outdoor bar, DJ music likely, and offer St. Patty’s specials including green beer and Jameson, officials with Aspen Skiing Co. announced Tuesday.
