Aspen Snowmass Announces Spring 2023 Events, Including Kickaspen Night Skiing

Longer days and plenty of snowfall bring the four mountains of Aspen Snowmass into celebrating spring. Live music, spring skiing events and promotions mark the calendar for the homestretch of the 2022-23 winter season.  

Snowmass will host a St. Patty’s Day celebration on Friday with the Ullrhof Games: a deck party featuring music, a series of games, and beer and food specials at the on-mountain Ullrhof Restaurant. Additionally, St. Patrick’s Day sunset skiing on Aspen Highlands will keep the Exhibition lift spinning until 6 p.m. and Merry-Go-Round restaurant open until 5:30 p.m. this Friday, March 17. 

KickAspen Night Skiing returns to Aspen Mountain March 24 and 25. Both nights, skiers and riders are invited to lap the Little Nell run from 7:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. and enjoy free live music from the Bud Light Hi-Fi Concert Series at the base starting at 6:30 p.m., featuring Friday night headliner Rootbeer Richie & The Reveille, an R&B, soul-infused live act hailing from Denver. Saturday night’s concert presents UK rock duo The Heavy Heavy, making Aspen a stop on their 2023 tour.
