X Games returns to **Buttermilk, January 29–31, 2027**, the 26th year in Aspen and the season opener of the new X Games League. Daytime competition is **free until 4 p.m.**; evening finals and the concerts need a ticket. There is **no parking at Buttermilk**, and it is one of the busiest weekends of the Aspen winter.

Dates, free hours, music and disciplines are from the official X Games Aspen 2027 page, checked October 20, 2026; prices from the official ticketing, checked September 2026. Line-ups and schedules can change; we check again in January.

## Already coming for X Games? (what Aspen Privé arranges)

We build the rest of the weekend around it: a driver between Buttermilk, town and the house on finals nights, dinner reservations for the group, a table after the show, and rentals and lift tickets sorted before you land. [Send us your dates and group size](https://aspenprive.com/contact.html?from=x-games-aspen&service=xgames), or start from [X Games Weekend, Handled](https://aspenprive.com/experiences/xgames-weekend/).

## There is no parking at Buttermilk

- **Shuttle from town**: Free X Games shuttles run continuously from Rubey Park (downtown Aspen), Snowmass Village and the Brush Creek Park & Ride at Highway 82, which has free event parking but fills early on finals days. RFTA Park & Ride lots serve the rest of the valley: Glenwood Springs, Carbondale, El Jebel, Basalt and Willits.
- **Rideshare and private cars**: Pick-up and drop-off is at Owl Creek Road and East Buttermilk Road. After the evening finals, demand spikes as thousands leave at once; a car booked in advance is the difference between a five-minute and a fifty-minute wait.
- **What to bring**: A standard backpack at most (22 × 14 × 9 inches); small coolers and diaper bags are screened. No alcohol, chairs, drones or pets. It's outdoors, rain or shine: dress for a January night at 8,000 feet, and bring a bottle for the refill stations.

## How to plan the weekend

- **Book the house and cars early**: X Games weekend fills Aspen and Snowmass. Lodging, airport cars and restaurant tables go weeks in advance.
- **Ski by day, watch at night**: Many visitors ski in the morning and watch free daytime finals, then go back for the evening session. The lift-ticket add-on makes that easy. The SuperPipe finals draw the biggest crowds; arrive well before the start or watch a less popular discipline first.
- **Gold Lounge or general admission**: General admission is standing room in the cold; the Gold Lounge adds a heated space, food and drinks. With children or older guests, that difference matters by 9 p.m.
- **For brands**: X Fest carries brand activations, and the weekend draws press, athletes and creators. If you're bringing a team, the residence, cars and dinners are the hard part to secure.

## How an X Games day runs

- **Before 4 p.m.: free**: Daily access is free until 4 p.m. Daytime is the easiest time to watch with children, and it pairs with a morning on the mountain: Buttermilk is one of Aspen Snowmass's four mountains. [Which mountains are open, and when](https://aspenprive.com/aspen-ski-season-dates/).
- **After 4 p.m.: ticketed**: Evening finals and the concerts need a ticket: general admission or the Gold Lounge. ZHU plays Friday, January 29, and Marshmello Saturday, January 30. The official site warns tickets are likely to sell out.
- **Late: getting home**: Everyone leaves Buttermilk at once after the evening session. A shuttle queue or a car arranged in advance at the Owl Creek Road drop-off decides how the night ends.
- **The rest of the weekend**: X Games falls in late January, after the holidays and before Presidents' week and Palm Tree. [The whole winter calendar](https://aspenprive.com/aspen-winter-events/) · [Aspen in January](https://aspenprive.com/aspen-in-january/).

## What Aspen Privé can arrange for this

We handle the parts that sell out: a car to Buttermilk and back after the finals, the house ready for your group, rentals and a lesson for the morning, and dinner when the crowds are in town.

- [A driver for the evening](https://aspenprive.com/contact.html?service=evening-driver) (From $210 per hour): A car and driver on call for dinner and the night out, so nobody hunts for a taxi at midnight.
- [Ski rental delivered](https://aspenprive.com/ski-rental-delivery-aspen/): Fitted at the residence, not in a shop queue.
- [Residence ready on arrival](https://aspenprive.com/first-evening-in-aspen/): Heat, lights, beds and the first evening sorted before you walk in.
