X Games Aspen 2025

Prepare for excitement as the world's best action sports athletes gather for ski and snowboard events at Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen Snowmass!

The first X Games were held in Rhode Island in the summer of 1995, with extreme sports teams competing for medals and prize money. Just two years later, the Winter X Games debuted at Big Bear Lake, California, featuring snow-based sports. The venue changed, and since 2002, Aspen has successfully hosted the X Games every winter.

If you're wondering why the 'X' in the event's name, the target market for attendees at the event's inauguration was Generation X, and most of the athletes competing were Gen Xers, too. Of course, X is also short for “extreme,” which the games certainly are. In addition, in mathematics, X symbolizes the unknown, and there is an element of the unknown in the X Games!

The 2025 X Games return to Buttermilk Mountain from January 23 to 25! Be there!

What to Expect When Attending X Games Aspen 2025

Winter events include various ski, snowboard, and snowmobile events.

Skiing includes big air, slopestyle, and superpipe. Snowboarding will feature big air, knuckle huck, snowboard X, and more. Competitors will race in freestyle and speed styles for snowmobiling, so be prepared to catch them as they pass by!

Music is an important part of this event, and this year's music appearances will be spectacular! ILLENIUM, deadmau5, Big Gigantic—yep, you’ll be able to vibe out to some of the best artists while taking a break from the snow action. It’s like the perfect mix of sports and music all weekend long!

If you're coming with your family, many zones offer kid-friendly areas and interactive experiences. Athletes will engage in autograph sessions or meet-ups with fans, so this is a great chance to ask something you want to know about ski and snowboard competitions!

The weather in Aspen will be freezing, so dress in layers to enjoy it fully! The average high temperature will be around 34°F (1°C), while nighttime lows can dip to 7°F (-14°C).
